Motor Vehicles - As introduced, requires the notification submitted by the department of safety to the department of revenue of reports of the theft or recovery of motor vehicles to be in writing. - Amends TCA Title 55.

SB 2444 requires the Tennessee Department of Safety to submit written reports to the Department of Revenue about motor vehicle thefts or recoveries, rather than verbal or informal notifications. This change directly affects state agencies handling vehicle records - specifically the Department of Safety and the Department of Revenue. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 55, Section 55-5-103(b)(2), by adding ", in writing," after the word "notify" in the existing requirement. The law takes effect upon becoming law, with no additional policy changes to vehicle theft procedures.
