Over 30,000 Sign Petition for ‘Riley Act’ in Tennessee

Over 30,000 people in Tennessee have signed a petition advocating for the implementation of the proposed "Riley Act." Named in honor of Riley Strain, a Missouri college student whose tragic death occurred in Nashville's Cumberland River, the Riley Act seeks to mandate bar staff to call a rideshare company or cab if they suspect a patron is intoxicated.

The Riley Act has gained momentum following the heartbreaking incident involving Riley Strain. Reports indicate that Strain was ejected from a Broadway bar and was subsequently captured on surveillance footage. . .
