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 likely pertains to the legal thresholds for certain criminal offenses related to controlled substances.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the need for public welfare in its implementation. The reduction in the specified quantity may indicate a shift in the state's approach to drug-related offenses, potentially leading to stricter enforcement or penalties.
