Full text of Tennessee Tennessee Code Annotated § 55-4-377 — Isaiah 117 House., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 55-4-377. Isaiah 117 House.
An owner or lessee of a motor vehicle who is a resident of this state, upon complying with state motor vehicle laws relating to registration and licensing of motor vehicles and paying the regular fee applicable to the motor vehicle and the fee provided for in § 55-4-204, shall be issued an Isaiah 117 House new specialty earmarked license plate for a motor vehicle authorized by § 55-4-210(c). The new specialty earmarked license plates provided for in this section must be of an appropriate design representative of Isaiah 117 House. The plates must be designed in consultation with a representative of Isaiah 117 House. The funds produced from the sale of Isaiah 117 House new specialty earmarked license plates shall be allocated to Isaiah 117 House in accordance with § 55-4-301. The funds must be used exclusively for expenses for the expansion of Isaiah 117 House facilities to provide care for children awaiting placement into the foster care system in this state and the construction, renovation, stocking, and staffing of such new and existing facilities. Acts 2020, ch. 660, § 23. Compiler's Notes. Acts 2019, ch. 253, §§ 1-3 purported to amend former § 55-4-377 by changing references from “the Mountain Tough Recovery Team” to “the Sevier County Partners in Progress Education Foundation” throughout the section, and rewriting the last sentence of (c). However, this amendment did not go into effect. Instead, in view of § 55-4-202(h) [now § 55-4-202(g) ], former § 55-4-377 (Acts 2018, ch. 1023, § 8) was deleted as obsolete and invalid in 2019 since the Mountain Tough new specialty earmarked plates in this section failed to meet the minimum requirements for issuance. Effective Dates. Acts 2020, ch. 660, § 51. July 1, 2020.
