HB 886 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Election Laws - As introduced, specifies that the reasonable period for candidates to remove signs, posters, or placards advocating their candidacy is two weeks after the election instead of three weeks. - Amends TCA Title 2.

HB 886 changes Tennessee election law by shortening the time candidates have to remove campaign signs, posters, or placards after an election. It reduces the deadline from three weeks to two weeks post-election, directly affecting candidates and campaign organizations. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, Section 2-1-116, to reflect this two-week period. This is a concrete policy change to the existing timeline for campaign signage removal, with no other provisions or impacts described in the bill text.
