AI Summary

This bill limits the power of the Tennessee Historical Commission and other state entities (except the state building commission) to regulate or take adverse actions against property owners regarding renovation, alteration, or demolition of improved public or private real property that is not currently listed on the Tennessee Register of Historic Places. Specifically, the bill prevents these entities from interfering with properties that have either been previously considered for but not added to the historic register, or have not received any historic preservation benefits or protections. The bill also requires the Tennessee Historical Commission to complete a review of any community development block grant related to such properties within 15 business days of the act's effective date, with potential consequences if they fail to do so. If the commission does not complete the review in time, they may be required to appear before the joint government operations committee of the state legislature to explain their non-compliance. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by reducing bureaucratic restrictions on property owners' ability to modify or develop their properties.
