AI Summary

This bill removes ambiguous language and clarifies that a transfer of a possibility of reverter or right of entry by a holder other than the original grantor is invalid unless the validity of the future interest was determined by a final judgment in a judicial proceeding or by a settlement among interested parties prior to July 1, 2015. The bill also adds a new section to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 29, Chapter 18, which provides a limited alternative remedy for property owners to quickly remove unauthorized persons from residential real property under certain conditions, such as the property not being open to the public and the unauthorized person not being a current or former tenant or an immediate family member of the property owner.
