House Bill 2508 amends Tennessee law regarding noncompliance with child support obligations, specifically focusing on the reinstatement of commercial driver licenses for obligors whose licenses were suspended or revoked due to noncompliance. The bill introduces a new section, 36-5-715, which mandates that the department provide the department of safety with confirmation of an obligor's reasonable compliance with child support orders. To qualify for this confirmation, the obligor must demonstrate employment in a position that requires operating a commercial motor vehicle, show that this employment will help them comply with the support order, and ensure that child support payments, including arrears, are being withheld from their income.

Upon receiving confirmation of reasonable compliance, the department of safety is required to withdraw the suspension or revocation of the obligor's commercial driver license and reinstate it according to existing regulations. This bill aims to facilitate the reinstatement of licenses for those who are making efforts to comply with child support obligations, thereby potentially improving their ability to earn a living and support their dependents. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2024.
