Financial Responsibility Law - As enacted, requires the commissioner of revenue, instead of the commissioner of safety, to issue a certificate stating that a cash deposit or bond in the amount required by the Tennessee Financial Responsibility Law of 1977 has been paid or filed with the commissioner of revenue. - Amends TCA Section 55-12-139.

SB 1300 amends Tennessee law to shift responsibility for issuing proof of financial responsibility certificates from the Commissioner of Safety to the Commissioner of Revenue. The bill directly affects drivers who need to provide proof of financial responsibility (such as after an accident or for license renewal), changing which state agency handles these certificates. The key provision replaces "commissioner of safety" with "commissioner of revenue" in Tennessee Code Annotated Section 55-12-139, streamlining the process under the Revenue Department. The change takes effect January 1, 2026, and does not alter the underlying financial responsibility requirements.
