House Bill 1714 aims to enhance support for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities in Tennessee by introducing a new system involving a blue envelope. This blue envelope will be designed by the Department of Safety to hold essential documents such as a driver's license, vehicle registration, and a contact card. It will also feature communication guidelines on the exterior to assist law enforcement officers in recognizing and adapting their approach when interacting with drivers who have these disabilities.

Starting January 1, 2027, individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities will be able to request a blue envelope from driver services centers or county clerk's offices, which the Department of Safety is required to make available statewide. The bill also grants the Department of Safety the authority to create rules to implement this initiative in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its enactment.
