House Bill 1456, sponsored by Bulso, proposes amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically in Section 9-8-307(e). The bill increases the maximum allowable damages from $300,000 to $500,000 and raises the limit from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. These changes aim to adjust the compensation limits for damages under the specified sections of the law.
The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, contingent upon the public welfare. This legislative change reflects an effort to enhance the financial recourse available to individuals seeking damages in Tennessee.
