Got some good news today

[Guest TN_Mike]

To bring everyone up to speed, we (wife, kids and me) moved to Yankee-Land, also known as Indiana, in May for a new job. Long story short, we completely HATE it here. I like the job but on man do we hate the state of Indiana. Taxes on everything! Except food at the grocery store oddly enough. State income tax AND county income tax! Plus so many more I can't even name them all off.

Anyway, I am actively looking for a job now back in Tennessee. We want the hell out of here and back down there. My wife and I had just renewed out TN HCP a couple of months before the move. I was wondering what the procedure would be for us to get our permits in TN again once we make it back there. I didn't know if they would still be good, of if we would need to take the class and get printed and the whole 9 yards again or what.

So I contacted the HCP office with the TN Dept. of Safety and got a very nice email back from a lady named Lisa Knight there who explained everything to me. She tells me that if we move back before the expiration dates of our HCP's that all we need to do is apply for a duplicate permit and explain why we need them.

She went on to explain that once we established residency in Indiana that the TN HCP was no longer valid and not to carry on them.

She summed it all up by wishing me well and wishing me luck finding a job there and moving back to the Great State of Tennessee.

Good customer service if you ask me.

I have heard good thinks about Lisa on this board. I have not dealt with her but I have heard of us, always good.

Welcome back to TN.

We aren't back yet. We are still in this hell hole called Indiana. But my goal is to be back in Tennessee by the start of the 2011 school year.
