Utilities, Utility Districts - As introduced, allows the Tellico Village Property Owners Association's water and wastewater utility services to be placed under the jurisdiction of the Tennessee board of utility regulation. - Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 82, Part 7 and Title 65, Chapter 4, Part 1.

HB 2164 would allow the Tellico Village Property Owners Association (a nonprofit community association created in 1985) to place its water and wastewater services under the Tennessee Board of Utility Regulation. The bill amends state law to create a new category for qualifying associations that serve at least 5,000 residential lots, provide emergency services, and exclusively serve their members with utility services. It requires the association's governing board to formally request regulation by the board. This bill specifically affects Tellico Village's utilities and establishes a procedural pathway for similar associations meeting the defined criteria. The change would shift regulatory oversight from local governance to the state board for these services.
