SB 413 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Zoning - As introduced, prescribes a process by which a local zoning authority may notify a state department, agency, or officer of a local zoning violation by a business resulting in the revocation or suspension of a license, permit, or certificate of a business in violation of a local zoning ordinance, resolution, or law; prescribes the process for reinstatement or appeal, including the assessment of a reinstatement fee. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13, Chapter 7; Title 62 and Title 68.

SB 413 establishes a process for local zoning authorities to notify state agencies when a business violates local zoning laws, potentially leading to the suspension or revocation of the business's state-issued license, permit, or certificate. To trigger this, the local authority must provide written notice with proof of violation within 30 days of the license's issuance or renewal. If the business corrects the violation, the local authority notifies the state agency to reinstate the license, though a reinstatement fee (up to the original license cost) may apply if the business was out of compliance at the time of notice. Businesses can appeal suspensions through standard administrative procedures under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act.
