Senate Bill 1620 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 57-4-205, by adding a new subsection that mandates the commission to produce an annual report detailing individuals convicted under this section in the previous year. This report must be submitted to the chair of the state and local government committee of the senate and the chair of the relevant house committee overseeing the consumption of alcoholic beverages on premises. The initial report is required to encompass all convictions since the law's inception and must be filed by December 1, 2026, with subsequent reports due annually by December 1.
The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability regarding alcohol-related convictions, ensuring that legislative committees are informed of enforcement outcomes. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
