SB 265 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Aircraft and Airports - As introduced, establishes a process for renaming an international airport governed by a metropolitan airport authority to Trump International Airport. - Amends TCA Title 42, Chapter 3; Title 42, Chapter 4 and Title 55.

SB 265 would rename an international airport operated by a metropolitan airport authority in a county with over 500,000 residents (like Nashville) to "Trump International Airport." It requires the airport authority to update all trademarks, contracts, signage, and official documents to reflect the new name, including filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The bill directly affects the airport authority and its operations, but does not change airport policies or funding. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Transportation and Safety Committee and has not yet become law.
