County Government - As enacted, makes changes to the "County Powers Relief Act." - Amends TCA Title 67, Chapter 4, Part 29.
This bill amends the County Powers Relief Act to change the deadline for counties to respond to certain state directives from thirty days to twenty-one days. It directly affects county governments in Tennessee by requiring them to act more quickly on specific administrative matters. The change is a procedural adjustment to the existing law, shortening the time frame for compliance without altering the underlying authority of the state or the counties.
