Public Funds and Financing - As enacted, requires the comptroller to disburse payments to property owners whose real or personal property was destroyed or damaged by a FEMA-certified disaster occurring between September 26, 2024, and September 30, 2024, under certain conditions; authorizes the deployment of a governmental entity's personnel and equipment outside its boundaries to another jurisdiction in response to an emergency under certain conditions. - Amends TCA Title 58, Chapter 8 and Title 67, Chapter 5.
HB 6007 requires Tennessee's state treasurer to pay property owners 130% of their 2024 property taxes for real or personal property destroyed or damaged by a FEMA-certified disaster occurring between September 26 and 30, 2024. This applies to owners in counties covered by the FEMA declaration who owned the property during the disaster, with payments disbursed by June 30, 2025, after submitting required documentation. The bill also amends state law to allow local governments to deploy personnel and equipment across jurisdictional boundaries during emergencies, with chief executive approval. The property tax provision expires December 31, 2025, and applies only to the specified disaster window.
