Senate Bill 2640, also known as House Bill 2574, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-10-407, which pertains to penalties for driving under the influence of an intoxicant. The bill specifically modifies subdivision (a)(1) by deleting the existing penalty duration and substituting it with a new penalty of one year and six months for individuals without a prior conviction as defined in subsection (e).

Additionally, the bill's effective date has been changed from immediate enactment to January 1, 2027, as per the amendment proposed by the House Judiciary. This adjustment allows for a delayed implementation of the new penalty structure for DUI offenses in Tennessee.
