AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to allow auctioneers to send prior written notifications about motor vehicle auctions (specifically for going-out-of-business sales) electronically to the motor vehicle commission, instead of requiring only physical written notifications. The change is relatively simple, modifying existing legal language to add the phrase "which may be sent electronically" to the current statute. By permitting electronic notification, the bill provides auctioneers with a more convenient and potentially faster method of communicating auction details to the motor vehicle commission. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, which emphasizes that the public welfare requires its prompt implementation. This modification represents a minor but practical update to Tennessee's auction regulations, reflecting the increasingly digital nature of business communications.
