SB 1069 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Motor Vehicles - As enacted, provides that a motor vehicle dealer license is not required to sell or purchase certain antique vehicles or unique motor vehicles through an auction being held at a venue with a permanent seating capacity of at least 20,000 located in Wilson County, the auction operator conducts no more than one auction in this state per year, the auction offers no less than 400 vehicles and no more than 2,000 vehicles for any one auction, and the operator has a minimum net worth of $25 million. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 17 and Title 62, Chapter 19.

SB 1069 amends Tennessee law to allow auctioneers to send required notifications about going-out-of-business motor vehicle sales electronically instead of only in writing. This change directly affects auctioneers who must notify the Motor Vehicle Commission of the time, place, and details of such sales. The bill modifies specific sections of Tennessee Code (Title 55, Chapter 17 and Title 62, Chapter 19) to permit electronic submission of these notifications. The provision aims to modernize the reporting process while maintaining the same notification requirements.
