Senate Bill 1808, also known as House Bill 1754, proposes an amendment to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning vessels. The bill urges the Department of Transportation, in collaboration with the Department of Revenue, to conduct a study on the potential impact of requiring personal trailers used for transporting boats to be registered in the state. The findings and recommendations from this study are to be reported to the chairs of the transportation and safety committees in both the Senate and the House of Representatives by January 1, 2027, if the study is undertaken.

The bill emphasizes the importance of understanding how such a registration requirement could affect transportation infrastructure needs in Tennessee. It is designed to ensure that any changes to the law regarding boat transportation are informed by thorough research and analysis. The act will take effect upon becoming law, prioritizing public welfare.
