Bill Summary
As enacted, requires proof of financial responsibility be maintained for the period of a driver license's suspension or revocation rather than for a period of three years in order for a person's registration to not be suspended or revoked when the commissioner of safety suspends or revokes the person's license by reason of a conviction; makes other revisions related to compliance with proof of financial responsibility requirements. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 12, Part 1 and Section 55-50-303.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee laws related to driver's licenses and proof of financial responsibility requirements. Key provisions include:
- Requiring proof of financial responsibility to be maintained for the full period of a driver's license suspension or revocation, rather than just 3 years, in order to avoid suspension or revocation of vehicle registrations.
- Allowing the Department of Safety to release the requirement to provide proof of financial responsibility after the suspension/revocation period has ended, if the driver was not convicted of any additional offenses during that time.
- Requiring a 65-dollar restoration fee to be paid when reinstating a driver's license after suspension or revocation.
- Prohibiting the issuance of new "Tennessee-only" driver's licenses after January 1, 2024, though existing ones will remain valid until expiration.
The bill aims to align Tennessee's laws on proof of financial responsibility with license suspensions and vehicle registration requirements.
