Tennessee HB0864 amends financial responsibility requirements for motor vehicle registration.

Tennessee HB0864 modifies the Financial Responsibility Law of 1977 by updating the process for vehicle registration and renewal. The bill mandates that vehicle registration or renewal cannot proceed without proof of financial responsibility.
