Senate Bill 213 amends Tennessee law to exempt certain auctions of previously titled antique or unique motor vehicles from the requirement of a motor vehicle dealer license. Specifically, this exemption applies to auctions held in conjunction with a motor vehicle festival at a municipal convention center located in a county with a population between 366,200 and 366,300, as per the 2020 federal census or any subsequent census. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from the festival must be donated to a hospital neurological institute within the same population parameters. This new provision will be repealed on October 22, 2025.

The bill also makes a similar amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 62-19-128, allowing the same exemption for auctions of previously titled antique or unique motor vehicles under the specified conditions. The act is set to take effect on October 17, 2025, emphasizing the public welfare.
