Bill > SB1882

This bill amends Tennessee law to change the duration for which individuals must maintain proof of financial responsibility, which is evidence that a driver has insurance or another acceptable form of financial coverage to pay for damages in case of an accident, after their driver's license or vehicle registration has been suspended or revoked due to a failure to provide such proof. Previously, this proof was required only for the duration of the suspension or revocation period. Now, it must be maintained for a minimum of one year or for the entire period of the suspension or revocation, whichever is longer. The bill also clarifies that if a person's registration was suspended or revoked for failing to provide this proof, it will be reinstated immediately upon payment of the appropriate registration fees, provided there are no outstanding judgments from a motor vehicle accident and the individual has met the new extended proof of financial responsibility requirement and has not committed further offenses.
