SB 708 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Driver Licenses - As introduced, requires the department of safety to report to the transportation and safety committee of the senate and the committee in the house of representatives having jurisdiction over driver license matters on the extent to which current fees imposed on applications for an original or renewal of a driver license are used to offset processing costs for driver license issuance and reinstatements, information technology upgrades, and any ongoing costs to maintain the driver license issuance system. - Amends TCA Title 55.

SB 708 would have required Tennessee's Department of Safety to report by January 2026 on how driver license fees cover specific costs, including processing, information technology upgrades, and system maintenance. The report would have been submitted to the Senate Transportation and Safety Committee and the relevant House committee. This bill did not change current fee amounts or driver license procedures but aimed to clarify fee usage for legislative oversight. The bill was introduced in February 2025 but withdrawn before further action.
