Driver Licenses - As enacted, requires proof of financial responsibility be maintained for the period of a driver license's suspension or revocation rather than for a period of three years in order for a person's registration to not be suspended or revoked when the commissioner of safety suspends or revokes the person's license by reason of a conviction; makes other revisions related to compliance with proof of financial responsibility requirements. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 12, Part 1 and Section 55-50-303.
