SB 1557 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sunset Laws - As enacted, extends the Tennessee motor vehicle commission to June 30, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 55, Chapter 17, Part 1.

SB 1557 extends the Tennessee Motor Vehicle Commission's authority until June 30, 2030, ensuring continued operation of this state agency. The bill amends two sections of Tennessee law (TCA Title 4, Chapter 29 and Title 55, Chapter 17) to formally define the commission and remove an outdated reference. This extension directly affects Tennesseans who rely on the commission for driver's licenses, vehicle registrations, and related services. The change is procedural, maintaining existing duties without altering the commission's responsibilities.
