SB 1849 shortens the deadline for Tennessee counties to post revisions to their charter of incorporation on their official websites. It reduces the current three-month posting window to two months, affecting all Tennessee counties required to maintain public access to charter documents. The bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee Code Annotated (Titles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 67) to implement this change. This is a procedural adjustment focused on streamlining local government administrative requirements. The bill was introduced in January 2026 and has advanced through initial committee stages.
