AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13 and Title 67, relative to property development.
Summary
HB2587 makes a narrow change to Tennessee’s property development notice process by shortening the required notice period in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 13-7-203(a), from 21 calendar days to 14 calendar days. The bill does not create a new program or regulatory scheme; instead, it adjusts an existing deadline tied to development-related procedures under the state’s land use and zoning framework.
Because the bill amends Title 13, it affects the timing requirements that apply to local governments, developers, and other parties involved in property development matters governed by that statute. The practical effect is to accelerate the process by one week, which could allow development-related actions to move forward more quickly while reducing the time available for notice or response under current law.
Impact
The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 13-7-203(a) by changing a statutory notice period from 21 days to 14 days. This directly alters the procedural timeline for property development matters covered by that section and may affect municipalities, planning authorities, developers, property owners, and members of the public who rely on the notice period to participate in or respond to development actions.
Sentiment
There is no recorded committee transcript or vote history in the provided materials, so there is no direct evidence of support or opposition from legislative debate. Based on the bill text alone, the measure appears technical and procedural rather than controversial, with its main effect being to streamline an existing process.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided context. The most likely area of disagreement, if any, would be whether shortening the notice period from 21 to 14 days gives affected residents and local stakeholders enough time to review and respond to property development actions. Any concern would likely come from those favoring longer public notice periods, while proponents would likely emphasize faster processing and reduced delay.
