Tennessee has passed a sweeping measure to combat bullying, targeting teenagers where it may hurt the most: revoking their ability to drive. The legislation, which took effect Tuesday, allows courts to suspend the driver’s licenses of minors found guilty of bullying or cyberbullying for up to a year.

Starting July 1, 2025, any minor found guilty of bullying or cyberbullying in juvenile court will lose their driving privileges for one year. The bipartisan measure passed with strong support, gaining 85 votes in the House and 26 in the Senate.
