Senate Bill 417 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 39-17-417(j)(12), by reducing the threshold for a specific criminal offense from "One hundred fifty (150) grams" to "Fifty (50) grams." This change aims to adjust the legal parameters surrounding the offense, potentially increasing the severity of penalties for violations involving smaller quantities.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, indicating a future implementation date that allows for public awareness and adjustment to the new legal standards. The amendment reflects a legislative intent to address and possibly deter certain criminal activities by lowering the quantity that constitutes an offense.
