New driving penalties for unruly students

Beginning January 1, 2027, Tennessee juvenile courts can suspend a student's driving privileges or ability to get a license. The suspension can last up to one year. It applies to students referred for conduct covered by Tennessee Code Section 49-6-3009(g)(1) whom the court finds unruly. This penalty is optional and can be added to other penalties allowed by law. Courts must follow the state's existing driver-license suspension process.
