Bill Summary · SB 1405

Legislative bill overview

SB 1405 extends the deadline for permit holders to notify the Department of Safety of address changes from 60 days to 90 days following a change in their principal place of residence. The bill amends numerous Tennessee Code Annotated titles to implement this change across various permit types and regulatory frameworks.

Why is this important

This modification affects thousands of Tennesseans holding permits across multiple regulatory domains (occupational licenses, firearms permits, business permits, etc.). The 30-day extension could impact the department's ability to maintain current contact information for enforcement, regulatory compliance, and public safety purposes, while providing permit holders additional time to comply with administrative requirements.

Potential points of contention

  • Regulatory effectiveness: Longer notification windows may delay the department's ability to reach permit holders for critical safety recalls, regulatory changes, or enforcement actions
  • Scope and clarity: The bill amends 23 different title codes, suggesting widespread application; the rationale for extending timeframes across such diverse permit categories may warrant scrutiny
  • Burden distribution: The change benefits permit holders administratively but could increase administrative burden on the Department of Safety to locate holders with outdated addresses
