HB 1796 shortens the deadline for Tennessee counties to post revisions to their charters online, reducing the current three-month period to two months. This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 5-1-127(b) to change the posting requirement from "three (3)" to "two (2)" months. It directly affects all Tennessee counties that maintain charters of incorporation. The change aims to expedite public access to local government documents without altering the underlying charter content or requirements.
