HB 1669 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As enacted, makes various changes to election laws, including, but not limited to, requiring certain reimbursements to county election commissions for primary elections to be processed in the same manner as expenses for the presidential preference primary, and eliminating authorization for certain state entities and officers to accept or expend grants, gifts, or funding from private persons, corporations, organizations, or political parties for conducting an election. - Amends TCA Title 2.

HB 1669 shortens the deadline for Tennessee political parties to submit their rules or amendments to election officials. Instead of filing within 30 days after adopting rules, parties must now submit within 15 days to the secretary of state and election coordinator. This change directly affects all political parties operating in Tennessee that adopt new rules or amendments. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, Section 2-1-114, updating the filing timeline for election-related party documentation.
