Tennessee Code Title 62. Professions, Businesses and Trades § 62-9-102

(b) Included on each registration and renewal form must be a section in which the registrant declares, under penalty of perjury pursuant to § 39-16-702(a)(3), whether the registrant has ever been convicted of a violation of this chapter or convicted of the criminal offense of theft, burglary or vandalism, where the offense involves scrap metal. If the registrant is a legally cognizable organization or entity, convictions of theft, burglary or vandalism, where the offense involves scrap metal, by any member, as defined in title 48, of the organization or entity must be disclosed on the application. Convictions of theft, burglary or vandalism, where the offense involves scrap metal, by members of organizations or entities constitute convictions by the registrant for purposes of subsection (c).

(c) A registrant who has been convicted of a violation of this chapter or has a conviction for the criminal offense of theft, burglary or vandalism, where the offense involves scrap metal, is prohibited from registering under this chapter for five (5) years from the date of conviction.

(d) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a registration issued pursuant to this chapter does not expire immediately upon the death of the registrant. The registration continues to be effective for the locations designated in the registration for a period of at least sixty (60) days after the death of the registrant. The sixty-day period may be extended by the commissioner for good cause.

(e) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a registration issued pursuant to this chapter expires upon notification to the department that the registrant is no longer in business at the registered location.

(f) Notwithstanding subsection (a):

(g) This chapter does not require a registered scrap metal dealer to separately register a scrap metal business. However, upon a scrap metal dealer's registration and subsequent renewals of registration, a scrap metal dealer shall list each place of business within this state with reference to its specific location.

(h) Registrations under this chapter are subject to late renewal for a period of sixty (60) days following their expiration date. The fee for a late renewal equals the fee for a timely renewal plus a penalty as set by the commissioner.
