Tennessee's SB 1667 increases penalties for drivers without auto insurance. It raises the first-time coverage failure fee from $25 to $500 and imposes a $1,500 fee for a second or subsequent failure within three years, requiring registration suspension or revocation. The bill also bars uninsured drivers from claiming non-economic damages (like pain and suffering) in lawsuits arising from vehicle use. Fees collected are distributed to county clerks, the Department of Safety, and a dedicated uninsured motorist fund.
