It depends on what Tenn. says about your driver's license status. Florida will follow what the other state says. In other words, if you received a permanent suspension (which is what Florida would do when convicted of vehicular homicide), then Florida will honor that and you will not be able to get a license here. However, if Tenn. allows you to have a license then Florida should honor that. You need to contact an attorney in Tennessee.
