As usual, the Tennessee General Assembly passed numerous measures this session that will affect the state’s citizens, most of which go into effect Monday, July 1.
Those bills, 224 of them to be exact, address such topics as crime, bail, abortion, gender-affirming care, teachers with firearms, drag racing, traffic stops and even official state books and foods.
But the 113th session also passed some other laws that take effect Monday that will have an impact on Tennesseans, some perhaps haven’t received as much attention as others. Here’s a rundown of these important, and not-so-important, new laws.
