Beginning July 1st there are several new Tennessee laws taking effect. One is Known as the “Nicholas’ Law,” the bill changes repeat offender guidelines for those convicted of boating under the influence. Those who lose their license due to intoxicated boating incidents must provide proof of negative intoxicant screenings to the Tennessee Department of Safety in order to regain their boating privileges. Another one allows retired Tennessee teachers to be rehired throughout the state as full-time and substitute teachers without losing all of their retirement benefits.
