AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 55, relative to registration of motor vehicles.
Summary
HB0116 is a short motor vehicle registration bill that amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 55. The bill deletes subsections (d) and (e) of Tennessee Code Annotated § 55-4-132, which means those provisions governing vehicle registration would be removed from state law. The text does not add new requirements or create a replacement framework; it simply repeals the specified subsections and takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
Because the bill only references the deletion of existing statutory language, its practical effect would depend on what subsections (d) and (e) currently require under § 55-4-132. In general, the measure would alter the rules for motor vehicle registration in Tennessee by eliminating those provisions from the code, potentially changing obligations for vehicle owners, registrants, or the Department of Revenue/vehicle registration administrators.
Impact
The bill would amend Tennessee’s motor vehicle registration statutes by striking subsections (d) and (e) from T.C.A. § 55-4-132. This would remove those provisions from the legal code and could change registration procedures, eligibility rules, fees, exemptions, or administrative requirements depending on the content of the deleted subsections. No new statutory scheme is created in the bill text, so the impact is limited to repeal of existing law within Title 55.
Sentiment
There is no recorded committee discussion or vote history in the provided materials, so the bill’s sentiment cannot be measured from debate or roll-call data. Based on the text alone, HB0116 appears to be a technical or narrow statutory cleanup measure rather than a broadly controversial policy proposal.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided context. If the deleted subsections affected a particular class of vehicle owners, local governments, or administrative practices, those stakeholders could be affected, but the available record does not identify any supporters, opponents, or disputed policy issues.
