NASHVILLE — Police will have to wait until suspected drunk drivers are actually convicted to seize and sell their vehicles under a bill now headed to Gov. Bill Haslam.

“We’ve changed the seizing and the selling of the vehicle from the date of the arrest from the date of arrest to conviction,” said bill sponsor Rep. Mike Carter, R-Ooltewah, to colleagues.

The bill was previously passed the Senate.
