Motor Vehicles, Titling and Registration - As introduced, increases, from 60 to 90 days, the period of time for which a temporary plate for a motor vehicle may be issued and used. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 17; Title 55, Chapter 3 and Title 55, Chapter 4.

HB 837 would extend the validity period for temporary vehicle license plates in Tennessee from 60 to 90 days. This change directly affects vehicle owners who need temporary plates while waiting for permanent registration, such as during vehicle purchases or relocation. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated § 55-4-226(c)(4) to update the time limit, effective July 1, 2025, for all temporary plates issued on or after that date. The policy change simplifies temporary plate use without altering other registration requirements.
