Senate Bill 417, also known as House Bill 573, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 39, Chapter 17, which addresses criminal offenses. The bill specifically modifies the existing legal language in Section 39-17-417(j)(12) by deleting the quantity "One hundred fifty (150) grams" and replacing it with "Fifty (50) grams." This change effectively lowers the threshold for a specific criminal offense related to controlled substances.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation. By reducing the specified amount, the legislation aims to address issues related to drug offenses and potentially enhance law enforcement's ability to manage such cases.
