Registration help for drivers during office closures

The law took effect immediately upon becoming law. During a public health emergency, natural disaster, or other temporary office closure, Tennessee county clerks can request neighboring-county help. Requests must go by mail or email and state how long help is needed. The neighboring clerk can handle vehicle registrations, renewals, and related services during that period. The assisting clerk can charge applicants $2.50 for plate and registration-certificate services, including issuing, transferring, or accepting surrendered documents and plates. The assisting clerk does not collect county-specific motor vehicle privilege taxes and must provide a vehicle report if requested for tax collection. Local sales and use taxes use the assisting county’s rate, with no refunds to offset differences between counties’ rates. The assisting clerk must send those taxes to the state. To have proceeds allocated to the assisting county, the clerk must notify the state in writing by the tax-payment deadline. Existing state tax-allocation limits still apply.
