Senate Bill 2608 amends Tennessee law to establish a new part within Title 55, Chapter 21, focusing on the development of specialized envelopes for drivers with disabilities. The bill mandates the Department of Safety to create a blue envelope for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities and a green envelope for those with mental illnesses. Each envelope will contain essential documents such as a driver’s license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration, along with communication guidelines on the exterior to assist law enforcement officers in recognizing and appropriately interacting with these drivers.

Starting January 1, 2027, individuals with a developmental or intellectual disability or mental illness can request these envelopes from driver services centers or county clerk's offices. The Department of Safety is tasked with ensuring the availability of these envelopes statewide and is authorized to promulgate rules to implement this part 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.
