Traffic Safety - As enacted, authorizes a law enforcement officer to seize or impound a motor vehicle that is found with an installed license plate flipper; requires that the owner or operator of the motor vehicle, if present, be provided the opportunity to promptly remove the license plate flipper if it can be removed safely. - Amends TCA Title 38; Title 40 and Title 55, Chapter 10.

SB 296 allows Tennessee law enforcement officers to seize or impound vehicles found with installed license plate flippers (devices that allow drivers to switch plates to avoid detection). If the vehicle owner or operator is present, officers must first offer them a chance to safely remove the flipper. If removed, only the flipper itself can be seized as contraband; if the vehicle is impounded, the owner pays towing, impound, and removal fees. This law amends Tennessee Code sections related to traffic safety and vehicle regulations.
