SB 1593 Tennessee Senate · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Special License Plates - As enacted, adds new specialty earmarked license plates; revises existing specialty earmarked license plates; makes related changes. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 4.

This bill updates the rules for Tennessee's specialty license plates by changing the deadline for vehicle owners to submit required documentation from 30 days to 45 days. The change applies to all existing and new specialty plate programs, giving applicants more time to provide necessary information when registering their vehicles. By extending this timeframe, the legislation aims to streamline the process for drivers seeking these customized plates without altering the types of plates available or the fees associated with them.
