Senate Bill 2389 amends Tennessee law regarding the requirements for registering real property documents with county registers of deeds. The bill introduces a new section that mandates individuals presenting documents for property transfer to provide a valid government-issued identification card, which must include the cardholder's name, address, photograph, and a unique identifying number or letter series. The register of deeds is required to copy or record the information from this identification card without charging a fee, and this information will be kept confidential. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a document will not be deemed invalid if the county clerk fails to copy or record the identification information.

The provisions of this bill are specifically applicable to counties with a population of at least 900,000, as determined by the 2020 federal census or any subsequent census. Notably, the new section will be repealed two years after the act's effective date. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
