AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 5 and Title 6, relative to county government.
Summary
SB2270 makes a narrow change to Tennessee county government law by extending a required notice period in Tennessee Code Annotated § 5-5-105(b)(1) from two days to three days. The bill does not create a new program or alter county powers broadly; instead, it adjusts a specific procedural deadline within the county government statutes in Titles 5 and 6.
Because the bill is limited to a single statutory amendment, its practical effect is to give slightly more time before the affected county-government action may proceed. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting a legislative judgment that the change is routine and should be implemented without delay.
Impact
The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated § 5-5-105(b)(1) by changing a notice or timing requirement from two days to three days. This modestly lengthens the statutory period applicable to the county-government process governed by that section, affecting county officials and any parties subject to the timing requirement. No other provisions of Titles 5 or 6 are changed, and the bill does not appear to impose new duties beyond the revised deadline.
Sentiment
There is no recorded committee transcript or vote history in the provided materials, so there is no direct evidence of debate or opposition. Based on the bill’s narrow, technical nature and immediate effective date, the measure appears to have been treated as a routine procedural adjustment rather than a controversial policy change.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the available record. The only potentially debatable issue is the length of the notice period itself—whether two days or three days is appropriate for the county-government process affected by § 5-5-105(b)(1). However, without transcripts or votes, no legislator, committee, or stakeholder position can be identified.
