Safety, Dept. of - As enacted, removes present law that requires an offender sentenced to a period of incarceration for a DUI to begin their sentence within 30 days of conviction or, if space is not immediately available in the appropriate municipal or county jail or workhouse within such time, as soon as such space is available; requires, instead, the sentencing court to determine when such an offender is required to commence service of their sentence. - Amends TCA Title 55 and Title 65.

SB 1302 requires Tennessee's Department of Safety to send its annual report on ignition interlock devices (devices that prevent car ignition if alcohol is detected) to the legislative librarian, in addition to legislative committees. This bill directly affects the Department of Safety (which must submit the report) and the legislative librarian (who will now receive the report). The change is procedural - it modifies report distribution under Tennessee law but does not alter the requirements for installing ignition interlocks or the devices' use. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 55-10-418 and related transportation codes.
