HB 2609 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Driver Licenses - As introduced, clarifies that the report made by a participant in the digital driver license system that the participant's electronic device has been lost or stolen must be made to the department of safety for purposes of terminating the person's participation in the system. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 50.

HB 2609 amends Tennessee's digital driver license law to clarify that participants must report lost or stolen electronic devices to the Department of Safety, not to another entity. This change directly affects individuals enrolled in Tennessee's digital driver license system. The bill modifies the existing requirement to specify "to the department" in the reporting process, ensuring clear communication with the responsible agency. (Procedural bill; summary focuses on the specific legal clarification.)
