Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 40.

Tennessee HB1165 proposes to amend the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) by adding an enhancement factor for sentencing that considers whether an adult defendant committed a criminal offense in the presence of a minor, irrespective of the minor's involvement or conviction. This bill affects adult offenders and aims to influence the sentencing process by allowing courts to impose harsher penalties based on the presence of a minor during the commission of a crime. Key provisions include the explicit inclusion of this factor in the determination of sentences within the permissible range for criminal offenses.
