SB 1766 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Regional Authorities and Special Districts - As enacted, revises various provisions of the Real Estate Infrastructure Development Act of 2025. - Amends TCA Title 7; Title 9; Title 12; Title 13; Title 66; Title 67 and Title 68.

SB 1766 amends Tennessee's infrastructure development district laws to clarify procedures for establishment and management. It updates public hearing requirements for district approval (requiring joint hearings when multiple municipalities are involved), sets a 30-year maximum term for infrastructure bonds (allowing phased issuance per project phase), and permits districts to allocate special assessments toward administrative costs like property tax collection. The bill also revises dissolution rules, requiring districts to end no later than 30 years after the last special tax is levied, rather than from the district's start date. These changes directly affect municipalities creating or operating infrastructure districts for public improvement projects.
