Senate Bill 2114, also known as House Bill 1891, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 55-10-207(f), to enhance the options available for individuals charged with speeding. The bill designates the existing language as subdivision (1) and introduces a new subdivision (2), which allows individuals to register for a department-approved driver education course as an alternative to appearing in court and paying fines. The bill mandates that these courses be made available online through the department's website. If the individual successfully completes the course within ninety days of the conviction, they can have points removed from their driving record, with a maximum of five points eligible for removal.
Additionally, the bill requires that providers of department-approved driver education courses submit certificates of completion to the department within thirty days of course completion. They must also inform participants about the process for point removal from their driving records. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the public welfare.
