Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 12 and Title 55, Chapter 4.

Tennessee SB1335 amends the registration and renewal process for motor vehicles by requiring proof of compliance with the Financial Responsibility Law of 1977 before registration can be granted. The bill affects vehicle owners and county clerks, introducing new documentation requirements and increasing coverage failure fees for uninsured vehicles, with a tiered fee structure based on the number of notices issued. Key changes include a revised definition of acceptable proof of insurance and the establishment of a $50 initial coverage failure fee, escalating to $250 and $500 for subsequent notices within three years.
