Election Laws - As introduced, requires county election commissions to include three non-binding questions related to the legalization of marijuana on the November 2026 ballot; requires the secretary of state to compile the results of the non-binding, advisory referendum, publish the results on the secretary of state's website, and forward the results to the members of the general assembly. - Amends TCA Title 2.
HB 1370 requires Tennessee county election commissions to include three non-binding questions about marijuana policy on the November 2026 ballot: legalizing medical marijuana, decriminalizing small possession, and legalizing recreational sales. The bill mandates the Secretary of State to compile and publish the results online and share them with lawmakers, though the questions have no legal effect. It directly affects voters who will answer the questions and county election offices that must administer them. The bill focuses solely on gathering public opinion data for legislative consideration, not on changing existing laws. (Note: This bill is pending introduction as of February 2025.)
