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

This change aims to clarify and potentially adjust the consequences for first-time offenders of DUI laws in Tennessee. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of addressing public welfare concerns related to driving under the influence.
