Senate Bill 1166, sponsored by Akbari, amends Tennessee law to require the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to produce an annual report regarding arrests made for driving under the influence (DUI). Specifically, the bill mandates that the report, due by January 1, 2026, and each January 1 thereafter, detail instances where individuals were arrested for DUI under Tennessee Code Annotated § 55-10-401, but no alcohol or intoxicants were detected in their blood or breath. The report must also include information on the law enforcement agency responsible for each arrest.

This legislation aims to provide transparency and data on DUI arrests, particularly focusing on cases where no substances were found, which could inform future policy decisions and law enforcement practices. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
