House Bill 3000 proposes the implementation of a special privilege tax on motor vehicles operating on public roads and highways in Cheatham County, excluding state-maintained roads. The tax rates vary based on vehicle type, with motorcycles taxed at $17 and passenger automobiles at $50, while trucks are taxed according to their classification, ranging from $50 to $75. The bill stipulates that the tax applies only to residents of Cheatham County and outlines exemptions for certain individuals, such as disabled veterans and military personnel stationed outside the state. The tax will be collected annually by the Cheatham County Clerk alongside state registration fees, and a fee of $1 will be charged for each vehicle processed.

Additionally, the bill repeals several previous acts related to motor vehicle privilege taxes in Cheatham County, consolidating the tax authority under this new legislation. The proceeds from the tax will be allocated to various funds, including the General Purpose School Fund, the Education Debt Service Fund, and the Highway Department Fund. The act will take effect upon approval by a two-thirds vote of the Cheatham County legislative body, with provisions for immediate implementation for public welfare purposes.
