Senate Bill 1678, also known as House Bill 1806, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding the issuance of decals for drivers with disabilities. The bill specifically modifies Section 55-21-103(a)(6) by removing the requirement that only individuals who apply for and receive a registration and license plate in a specific category are eligible for the decals. Instead, it expands eligibility to include owners or lessees of motorcycles who also apply for and receive a registration and license plate in the same category.
This change aims to ensure that individuals with disabilities who own or lease motorcycles have access to the same benefits as those with standard vehicles. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 55-21-103(a)(6), 55-21-103
