Notice of Effective Date for New Rules for
Tennessee Motor Vehicle Commission
Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-3-1306(d), you are receiving this notice because you have elected to receive notification by e-mail of certain changes or potential changes to the law applicable to your profession.
The Tennessee Motor Vehicle Commission approved proposed rules at their regularly scheduled meeting conducted on January 14, 2019. These rules were filed with the Secretary of State on August 14, 2019 and are effective as of January 28, 2020. These rules were filed as Proposed Rules and were promulgated without a hearing ninety (90) days from the filing date.
These rules amend an existing rule with regard to the standards for doors that divide separate businesses in the same building as motor vehicle dealers. The former rule provided that a permanent wall or sealed door must separate a non-motor vehicle dealer business from licensed motor vehicle dealers sharing one building. This amendment allows a locked door between the businesses that shall not be used by consumers. This amendment provides an option to the current rule for businesses to avoid the expense of fully sealing off separate businesses and allows businesses in a building with common area access to those areas.

If you have any questions or concerns about these proposed rules, please contact Maria Bush, Assistant General Counsel, at (615) 741-3072 or electronically at Maria.P.Bush@tn.gov
