SB 2504 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Natural Disasters - As enacted, enacts the "Local Disaster Displacement Tax Relief Act." - Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 4; Title 58 and Title 67, Chapter 4.

SB 2504 amends Tennessee law to require the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) to submit specific recommendations to the General Assembly about disaster preparedness, prevention, and mitigation strategies. These recommendations must address both eliminating emergencies or reducing their impact and improving disaster response. The bill directly affects TEMA, which must now provide these recommendations, and the General Assembly, which will review them. This changes TEMA’s existing duties under Tennessee Code Annotated, Sections 58-2-106(b) and related provisions.
