Bill > SB0780

This bill amends Tennessee's driver's license law to explicitly allow honorably discharged members of the National Guard to receive a "veteran" designation on their driver's license. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law by adding language that includes National Guard members who have been honorably discharged among those eligible for the veteran designation. To receive this designation, applicants must provide documentation proving their honorable discharge status, such as an official honorable discharge certificate (Department of Defense Form 256 or National Guard Bureau Form 22) that clearly shows an honorable discharge characterization. The bill aims to recognize and honor National Guard members' service by allowing them to identify themselves as veterans on their state-issued driver's licenses, providing a simple way for these service members to be acknowledged for their military service. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
