Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 13 and Title 55, Chapter 10.

Tennessee SB1736 amends the penalties for leaving the scene of an accident by increasing the classification of offenses: it raises the penalty for leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class E felony, and for leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death from a Class E felony to a Class D felony. This bill affects individuals involved in accidents who fail to remain at the scene, particularly those whose actions result in injury or death. Key provisions include the reclassification of penalties to reflect a more severe legal response to these offenses.
