House Bill 2244, also known as Senate Bill 2608, amends Tennessee law to establish a system for assisting drivers with developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities, or mental illnesses. The bill introduces the creation of two specific envelopes: a blue envelope for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities and a green envelope for those with mental illnesses. Each envelope is designed to hold essential documents such as a driver’s license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration, and will feature communication guidelines on the exterior to help law enforcement officers recognize and appropriately interact with these drivers.

Starting January 1, 2027, individuals eligible for these envelopes can request them from driver services centers or county clerk's offices, ensuring that these resources are widely available throughout the state. The Department of Safety is tasked with developing these envelopes and is authorized to create rules to implement this part of the law 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.
