House Bill 191 amends Tennessee Code Annotated by introducing a new section that makes it an offense to knowingly activate and point a laser pointer or similar device at individuals operating motor vehicles, including automobiles, boats, and airplanes. This new provision categorizes the offense as a Class B misdemeanor, which carries specific legal penalties.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to any acts committed on or after that date. This legislation aims to enhance public safety by addressing the potential dangers posed by laser pointers when directed at individuals in control of moving vehicles.
