AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law by providing a more comprehensive definition of the term "district" specifically for municipal elections. The bill defines "district" as any geographical area used for nominating and electing candidates, which can include a district, region, precinct, sector, territory, ward, or similar designation. The definition is being added to Section 6-53-110 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, which relates to election procedures. By expanding the definition, the bill provides greater clarity and flexibility in how election districts can be described and structured for municipal elections. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare. The broad definition could potentially help local governments more easily adjust and define electoral boundaries to suit their specific needs.
