Motor Vehicles, Titling and Registration - As enacted, authorizes a county clerk, during a period of a public health emergency, natural disaster, or other temporary office closure, to request the assistance of a county clerk in a contiguous county for purposes of registering motor vehicles and related transactions. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 4 and Section 55-6-101.
SB 660 allows Tennessee county clerks to request assistance from neighboring county clerks for vehicle registration services during public health emergencies, natural disasters, or temporary office closures. The requesting clerk must submit a written request specifying the duration, and the assisting clerk can process registrations, renewals, and plate transfers without collecting county-specific taxes but may charge a $2.50 fee per transaction. This provision directly affects county clerks and vehicle owners needing to complete registration during emergency disruptions.
