HB 1708 requires non-English speaking applicants for Tennessee driver licenses to receive a one-year restricted license (valid only for school, work, or medical appointments) and retake the written test in English to obtain a full license. It also mandates that vehicle owners provide proof of U.S. citizenship, lawful permanent residency, or temporary legal status when registering a vehicle. The bill directly affects non-English speaking residents applying for driver licenses and all vehicle owners registering vehicles in Tennessee. These provisions aim to ensure language proficiency for full driver privileges and verify legal status for vehicle registration.
