House Bill 1060 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 70-2-106, specifically addressing the fees that agents, such as county clerks or other designated individuals, can collect for selling licenses, permits, stamps, tags, registrations, or other privileges. The bill replaces the existing language in subsection (b)(1) with new provisions that establish a flat fee of three dollars ($3.00) for each annual license or permit sold, as well as for any license or permit valid for a specified day or number of days. Additionally, the bill allows the executive director to set an agent fee through competitive bidding for those who sell these items via telephone or electronic means.
This legislation aims to standardize the fees collected by agents and provides flexibility for the executive director to establish alternative fee structures through competitive bidding. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for public welfare.
