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 streamline the fee structure for agents involved in the sale of various licenses and permits while providing flexibility for the executive director to establish fees through competitive processes. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
