House Bill 1668 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 39, by introducing a new offense related to theft. The bill makes it illegal for a person to knowingly travel with the intent to commit theft of cash from a commercial business or financial institution while following the same path as another person, without significant deviation, and while in possession of two or more criminal instruments. The bill defines "criminal instrument" as an item that is not inherently illegal but is intended for use in committing a crime.

The penalties for violating this new provision vary based on the circumstances of the offense. Generally, a violation is classified as a Class A misdemeanor. However, if the individual commits a violation of specific sections of the law during the theft, the offense escalates to a Class D felony or a Class B felony, depending on the nature of the additional crime committed. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
