Summary

The law requires Tennessee’s Department of Correction to work with the Department of Safety to issue a driver’s license, or a photo ID if needed, to inmates who are leaving prison and had a valid license before they were incarcerated. It also extends the expiration date of those licenses for six months after release and sets up data‑sharing and notification procedures. This helps former inmates maintain mobility and stay compliant with state licensing rules.
