Bill > SB0213

This bill creates a specific exception to Tennessee's motor vehicle dealer licensing requirements, allowing the sale or purchase of previously titled antique or unique motor vehicles through auction formats at certain motor vehicle festivals in Hamilton County, without requiring a motor vehicle dealer license. Specifically, the auctions must be held at a municipal convention center in a county with a population between 366,200 and 366,300 (which describes Hamilton County) and must donate a portion of the festival's proceeds to a hospital neurological institute in the same county. This exemption is temporary and will be automatically repealed on October 22, 2025. The bill amends two sections of Tennessee law (Sections 55-17-120 and 62-19-128) to create this limited exception, effectively providing a targeted regulatory relief for a specific type of vehicle auction event while ensuring that some charitable benefit is derived from the festival. The bill is set to take effect on October 17, 2025.
