SB 2191 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Utilities, Utility Districts - As enacted, authorizes a political subdivision to enter into a cost-sharing agreement with a developer for the development of certain public infrastructure. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13; Title 65 and Title 68.

SB 2191 allows Tennessee counties, cities, or metropolitan governments (political subdivisions) to require developers to pay for offsite public infrastructure improvements - such as roads, utilities, stormwater systems, or sidewalks - needed to support future development beyond the developer's property boundary. The bill mandates that cost-sharing agreements must be based on the development's proportional impact on infrastructure, with local governments having 60 days to approve or deny requests. If disagreements arise, developers can seek resolution through the Tennessee Board of Utility Regulation. This directly affects developers seeking approval for new projects and local governments managing infrastructure funding.
