AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's motor vehicle registration laws to increase fees for mail-order renewal services provided by county clerks. Specifically, the bill raises the fee for handling mail orders of registration plates from $5 to $7, and increases the fee for handling mail orders of registration decals from $2 to $3. The legislation maintains the existing requirement that mail-in renewal applications must be postmarked at least 20 days before the license expiration date. Additionally, the bill allows county clerks to adjust these fees annually to match any increases in United States Postal Service pricing. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, and are designed to help county clerks cover the costs associated with processing mail-order vehicle registration renewals. These modest fee increases aim to ensure that the administrative costs of mail-order services are adequately supported while providing a convenient renewal option for Tennessee vehicle owners.
