HB 2565 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

HB 2565 requires Tennessee's Department of Safety to submit written reports to the Department of Revenue about motor vehicle thefts or recoveries, instead of verbal notifications. This bill directly affects state departments handling vehicle records, specifically changing how they communicate theft and recovery data. The key provision amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 55 to mandate written reports in Section 55-5-103(b)(2). It makes no changes to vehicle laws or penalties but standardizes interdepartmental reporting. This is a procedural update with no direct impact on the public or businesses.
