The court shall then order a date certain before which payment shall be made.

TN Code § 55-10-404 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 55 - Motor and Other Vehicles|Chapter 10 - Accidents, Crimes and Penalties|Part 4 - Alcohol and Drug Related Offenses|§ 55-10-404. Driving Prohibitions — Restricted Licenses — Revocation and Suspension — Commercial Licenses and Vehicles

   The court shall prohibit any person convicted of a violation of § 55-10-401 from driving a vehicle in this state for a period of:  One (1) year, if the conviction is a first offense;   Two (2) years for a second offense;   Six (6) years for a third offense; and,   Eight (8) years for a fourth or subsequent offense.     In the interest of public safety, a driver who has been prohibited from driving a vehicle in this state pursuant to this subsection (a) may apply for a restricted license subject to § 55-10-409.     Nothing in this part shall be construed so as to in any way limit, change, alter, repeal, or amend § 55-50-303, § 55-50-501, or § 55-50-502, nor to limit the power or authority of the department of safety to revoke or suspend a driver license, permit, or privilege under chapter 50 of this title. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the issuance of a restricted license in accordance with § 55-10-409.

TN Code § 55-10-414 (2021)
2021 Tennessee Code|Title 55 - Motor and Other Vehicles|Chapter 10 - Accidents, Crimes and Penalties|Part 4 - Alcohol and Drug Related Offenses|§ 55-10-414. Seizure and Forfeiture of Vehicles

  The vehicle used in the commission of a person's second or subsequent conviction of § 55-10-401, or the second or subsequent conviction of any combination of § 55-10-401, and a statute in any other state prohibiting driving under the influence of an intoxicant, is subject to seizure and forfeiture in accordance with the procedure established in title 40, chapter 33, part 2. The department of safety is designated as the applicable agency, as defined by § 40-33-202, for all forfeitures authorized by this section.   In order for subsection (a) to be applicable to a vehicle, the conviction making the vehicle subject to seizure and forfeiture must occur in Tennessee and at least one (1) of the previous convictions must have occurred within five (5) years of the current conviction.   It is the specific intent that a forfeiture action under this section shall serve a remedial and not a punitive purpose. The purpose of the forfeiture of a vehicle after a person's second or subsequent DUI conviction is to prevent unscrupulous or incompetent persons from driving on Tennessee's highways while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs endangers the lives of innocent people who are exercising the same privilege of riding on the state's highways. There is a reasonable connection between the remedial purpose of this section, ensuring safe roads, and the forfeiture of a motor vehicle. While this section may serve as a deterrent to the conduct of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, it is nonetheless intended as a remedial measure. Moreover, the statute serves to remove a dangerous instrument from the hands of individuals who have demonstrated a pattern of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.   Only POST-certified or state-commissioned law enforcement officers will be authorized to seize these vehicles under this section.

  A person under twenty-one (21) years of age shall not drive or be in physical control of an automobile or other motor-driven vehicle while:  Under the influence of any intoxicant, marijuana, controlled substance, controlled substance analogue, drug, substance affecting the central nervous system, or combination thereof that impairs the driver's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle by depriving the driver of the clearness of mind and self-control that the driver would otherwise possess; or   The alcohol concentration in the person's blood or breath is two-hundredths of one percent (0.02%) or more.     The fact that a person who drives while under the influence of narcotic drugs or barbital drugs is or has been lawfully entitled to use the drugs does not constitute a defense to a violation of this section.   This section establishes the offense of underage driving while impaired for a person under twenty-one (21) years of age. The offense of underage driving while impaired is a lesser included offense of driving while intoxicated.   The offense of underage driving while impaired by a person eighteen (18) years of age or older but under twenty-one (21) years of age is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by:  Driver license suspension of one (1) year;   A fine of two hundred fifty dollars ($250); and   Public service work, in the discretion of the court.

For a violation of this section, a law enforcement officer shall issue a citation in lieu of continued custody, unless the offender refuses to sign and accept the citation, as provided in § 40-7-118.     This section shall not be construed to prohibit any municipality, by ordinance, or any county, by resolution, from prohibiting the passengers in a motor vehicle from consuming or possessing an alcoholic beverage or beer in an open container during the operation of the vehicle by its driver, or be construed to limit the penalties authorized by law for violation of the ordinance or resolution.
