Bill > HB0655

This bill modifies Tennessee's licensing regulations to provide a special exemption for specialty license plates that support state historic sites. Specifically, the bill creates an exception to the standard requirements that new specialty license plates must have at least 1,000 initial plates issued and maintain at least 800 plates upon renewal. The exemption applies when the license plate funds are allocated to and used by a nonprofit organization to support a site officially designated as a state historic site by the Tennessee Historical Commission. This means that historic site-focused specialty license plates can continue to be offered even if they do not meet the typical minimum issuance requirements, potentially making it easier for smaller or more niche historic site support efforts to maintain their specialty license plate programs. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law and applies retroactively to specialty license plates authorized both before and after the bill's effective date.
