AI Summary
This bill requires that all driver licenses and photo identification licenses in Tennessee must be manufactured and printed within the state, with the Department of Safety tasked with reviewing and determining the most cost-effective method of production. The department will evaluate whether these licenses should be produced internally by a state department or agency, or through a contract with a private vendor, with the ultimate goal of finding the most economical approach to license production. The bill has a split effective date: the provisions related to reviewing cost-effectiveness and evaluating current contracts and vendors will take effect immediately upon becoming law, while the substantive requirements for in-state license production will not take effect until January 1, 2026. This approach gives the Department of Safety time to conduct a thorough review and make necessary preparations to ensure compliance with the new requirement.
