Senate Bill 653 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 55-4-202, by adding a new subsection that exempts certain specialty earmarked license plates from existing restrictions. The new provision states that the limitations outlined in subdivision (k)(1) do not apply to new specialty license plates authorized under sections 55-4-311, 55-4-312, and 55-4-314, provided that the funds generated from these plates are allocated to a nonprofit organization supporting state historic sites designated by the Tennessee Historical Commission.

The bill is designed to facilitate the funding and support of programs and operations at state historic sites through the sale of specialty license plates. It takes effect upon becoming law and applies to new specialty earmarked license plates authorized both before and after the effective date.
