Bill > HB0303

This bill creates a specific exemption to motor vehicle dealer licensing requirements for auctions of antique or unique motor vehicles held in Hamilton County (identified by the specific population range of 366,200-366,300 people according to the 2020 census). The exemption applies only to auctions that are part of a motor vehicle festival taking place at a municipal convention center and where a portion of the festival's proceeds are donated to a hospital neurological institute located in the same county. This exemption is temporary and will be automatically repealed on October 22, 2025, meaning the special licensing waiver is only valid for a limited time. The bill amends two sections of Tennessee law (Title 55 and Title 62) to create this narrow exception, allowing individuals to sell or purchase previously titled antique or unique vehicles through this specific auction format without needing a motor vehicle dealer license. The bill is set to take effect on October 17, 2025, suggesting it is designed to provide a time-limited opportunity for a specific type of vehicle auction event in a particular county.
