Traffic Safety - As introduced, imposes state and local litigation taxes on a person who violates the prohibition against using a wireless telecommunications device or stand-alone electronic device while operating a motor vehicle; removes the ten-dollar cap on court costs imposed for such violations. - Amends TCA Section 55-8-199.

SB 1591 removes the $10 cap on court costs for drivers who violate Tennessee's ban on using wireless phones or electronic devices while driving. Instead, it requires violators to pay court costs plus state and local litigation taxes for these offenses. The bill applies to all violations occurring on or after July 1, 2026, directly affecting drivers cited for handheld device use during operation of a motor vehicle. This change modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Section 55-8-199 without altering the underlying prohibition.
