SB 216 increases the maximum fine for a specific property fraud offense from $3,000 to $4,000. It targets individuals who transfer land using a general warranty deed while knowingly concealing existing liens or mortgages with the intent to defraud creditors. The bill amends Tennessee Code Section 66-3-104, raising the fine limit within the existing Class E felony framework (which includes imprisonment terms). This change directly affects those committing deed fraud, without altering the felony classification or imprisonment penalties.
