SB 2226 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Regional Authorities and Special Districts - As enacted, authorizes the Megasite Authority of West Tennessee to issue bonds for the sole purpose of financing, in whole or in part, the cost of acquisition, purchase, construction, reconstruction, improvement, betterment, or extension of the water system or wastewater system operated by the authority; grants certain additional authority to the board of directors; limits liability of the state on bonds of the authority. - Amends TCA Title 64, Chapter 9.

SB 2226 amends Tennessee law to extend the required notice period for land use violations under the Megasite Authority of West Tennessee from 10 to 14 days before assessing civil penalties. It directly affects individuals or entities who violate the Authority's land use regulations. The key provision changes Section 64-9-109(f)(1) to mandate written notice of at least 14 days prior to penalty assessment. This is a procedural adjustment to penalty procedures, not a substantive policy change. The bill requires the Authority to provide longer notice before imposing fines for land use violations.
