SB 2708 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Williamson County - Subject to local approval, authorizes the board of the Williamson County hospital district to sell real property owned or operated by the hospital district and lease substantially all of the facilities owned or operated by the hospital district if approved by the Williamson County board of commissioners. - Amends Chapter 107 of the Private Acts of 1957; as amended.

SB 2708 modifies rules governing the Williamson County Hospital District's property management. It removes a previous restriction that prohibited the hospital district board from selling real property or leasing most facilities without county approval, now requiring such transactions to be approved by the Williamson County Board of Commissioners. The bill specifies that the hospital district board can sell property or lease substantially all facilities only with this county commission approval. This change affects the hospital district's ability to manage its assets and directly involves Williamson County's governing body in major property decisions. The bill requires a two-thirds vote from the county commission for approval.
