SB 2442 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Regional Authorities and Special Districts - As enacted, enacts the "The Jeff Burkhart Act," which adds counties to the forms of local government that may establish a self-financing central business improvement district under the "Central Business Improvement District Act of 1990." - Amends TCA Title 5 and Title 7, Chapter 84, Part 5.

SB 2442 extends the deadline for Tennessee municipalities to hold public hearings on petitions for central business improvement districts, changing the timeframe from 45 to 60 days. This affects local governments that receive valid petitions to establish these districts, which fund area-specific services like cleaning or marketing. The bill amends Tennessee Code Section 7-84-513 to implement this change, with no other policy provisions.
