Bill > HB0119

This bill amends Tennessee's financial responsibility law by changing the administrative responsibility for issuing certificates of financial responsibility from the commissioner of safety to the commissioner of revenue. Specifically, the legislation modifies Section 55-12-139 of the Tennessee Code to replace references to the "commissioner of safety" with "commissioner of revenue" when dealing with certificates related to cash deposits or bonds required under the Tennessee Financial Responsibility Law of 1977. The bill will take effect on January 1, 2026, and appears to be a technical change that shifts bureaucratic responsibility for a specific administrative function from one state department to another without substantively altering the underlying financial responsibility requirements for individuals. The change likely aims to streamline administrative processes or align departmental responsibilities more effectively.
