House Bill 1891 and Senate Bill 2114 propose amendments to Tennessee's traffic laws, specifically regarding driver courses for traffic offenses. The bill introduces a new provision that allows individuals charged with speeding to register for a department-approved driver education course as an alternative to appearing in court. This registration must be facilitated by the court clerk, who is required to make the registration available online. If the individual successfully completes the course within ninety days of their conviction, they can have points removed from their driving record, with a maximum of five points eligible for removal.

The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-10-207(f), by designating the existing language as subdivision (1) and adding a new subdivision (2) that outlines these provisions. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of driver education in promoting safer driving practices and reducing the penalties associated with speeding violations.
