Motlow v. State, 125 Tenn. 547.
Opinion review of Tennessee’s four-mile laws
Complete opinion reviewed 2026-09-01. The court states that Chapter 1 made the four-mile-law series statewide in practical effect and took effect July 1, 1909. The opinion elsewhere gives differing bill-passage phrasing from other reports, so this Citation is used for the effective date and legal scope, not a single uncontested enactment-day label.
