The Tennessee Legislature passed several new laws that are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2024. Very few of the new Tennessee laws impact those accused of driving under the influence (DUI). The next two blog posts will highlight these new DUI related laws.
Beginning 1/1/24, all Ignition Interlock Devices (IIDs) must employ GPS technology that will geotag the vehicle’s location when the following occurs:
- The driver performs the initial startup test on the IID
- The driver is required to randomly retest
- The driver skips a test required by the ignition interlock device
- A circumvention of the ignition interlock device is detected
The law does require, however, that the GPS not continuously track the location of the vehicle.
