AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 16, Chapter 2, Part 5, relative to judicial districts.
SB2333 is a very short bill that amends Tennessee law governing judicial districts. Specifically, it deletes subsection (c) of Tennessee Code Annotated § 16-2-522, which is part of the statutory framework for judicial districts in Title 16, Chapter 2, Part 5. The bill does not add new language or create a new program; it simply removes an existing subsection from the code.
Because the bill only strikes a subsection, its practical effect depends on the content of the deleted provision. Based on the caption and statutory location, the measure likely alters how one or more judicial districts are defined, organized, or administered under state law. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the legislature’s intent for prompt implementation.
The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 16, Chapter 2, Part 5 by deleting subsection (c) of § 16-2-522. This changes the state’s statutory rules governing judicial districts and may affect the structure, boundaries, or administration of a district or districts covered by that section. Any courts, judges, clerks, or local governments operating under the deleted provision would be affected to the extent that subsection (c) had established duties, exceptions, or district-specific rules.
No committee transcripts or recorded votes are provided, so there is no direct evidence of debate, support, or opposition in the available materials. The bill’s narrow, technical nature suggests it is likely a housekeeping or district-organization measure rather than a broad policy change. On the face of the text, the bill appears neutral and administrative in character.
The main point of contention, if any, would likely concern the consequences of deleting subsection (c) from the judicial-district statute. Without the text of the removed subsection or committee discussion, it is not possible to identify specific opponents or supporters. Any disagreement would probably center on how the deletion changes district boundaries, court administration, or local judicial arrangements, and whether those changes are beneficial or disruptive.
