House Bill 1891, sponsored by Hemmer, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to introduce new provisions regarding driver education courses for individuals charged with speeding offenses. The bill designates existing language in Section 55-10-207(f) as subdivision (1) and adds a new subdivision (2). This new provision allows individuals charged with speeding to register for a department-approved driver education course through the court clerk as an alternative to appearing in court and paying fines. It mandates that court clerks provide online registration for these courses and stipulates that successful completion of the course within ninety days will result in the removal of points from the individual's driving record, with a maximum of five points eligible for removal.

The bill emphasizes the importance of making driver education courses more accessible and provides a mechanism for individuals to mitigate the consequences of speeding violations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, ensuring that the public welfare is prioritized in the implementation of these changes.
