Tennessee Legislature Passes Bill to Waive Vehicle and Motorcycle Registration Fees for a Year
The Tennessee Legislature passed a bill that will waive the state portion of vehicle and motorcycle registration fees for a year, starting on July 1.
Senate Bill 2491 will have a total impact of $121.6 million and bill sponsor Sen. Bo Watson, R-Hixson, said it was intentionally done to give a direct tax break to those who live and drive vehicles in Tennessee. A $100 registration fee for electric vehicles, however, will not be waived.
"This makes for the largest financial relief part of this year’s appropriation act," Watson said, referring to appropriations passed by the Legislature last week.
