For the Preamble of the act regarding special license plates, please refer to Acts 2008, ch. 1165. In view of § 55-4-201(d) [now § 55-4-202(d) ], former § 55-4-270 (Acts 1998, ch. 1063, § 1) was deleted as obsolete and invalid by the Code Commission in 2000, as the senior citizens plates named in this section did not qualify for initial issuance. Acts 2002, ch. 876, § 65 provided that the commissioner of safety is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations to effectuate the provisions of that act. All such rules and regulations shall be promulgated in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5. Pursuant to § 55-4-201(e) and (h)(1), [now § 55-4-202(e) and (g)(1)], former § 55-4-270 (Acts 2005, ch. 506, § 15) was deemed obsolete and invalid by the department of revenue, as the “East Tennessee Children's Hospital” new specialty earmarked license plate that former § 55-4-270 authorized did not meet the minimum renewal requirements for two successive renewal periods.
