One-year driving suspensions for covered juvenile offenders
For acts committed on or after July 1, 2025, Tennessee requires a one-year driving suspension for covered juvenile offenders. This applies to court decisions under Tennessee Code § 39-17-308(d)(2). The suspension covers the minor’s driving privileges or ability to get a driver license. It is required in addition to any other court-ordered consequences.
First-time juvenile offenders get restricted driving licenses
For acts committed on or after July 1, 2025, Tennessee courts can allow restricted licenses for eligible juvenile offenders. Eligibility requires a delinquency finding under Tennessee Code § 39-17-308(a)(5), with no prior delinquency finding for that same offense. Driving is allowed to and from school during regular school hours, to and from and while working at the regular workplace, and to and from church services. Trips to social events and extracurricular school activities are prohibited. The court order must list allowed times and places as specifically as practical and be included in the court’s judgment. Within 10 days after the order is issued, the juvenile must submit a certified copy and a $20 application fee to the Tennessee Department of Safety. The juvenile must meet license age and testing requirements, and the department must then promptly issue the restricted license. Until it is issued, a certified copy of the court order can serve as the driver license.
