Bill > SB0265

This bill establishes a mandatory process for renaming an international airport in a Tennessee metropolitan county with over 500,000 residents (likely referring to Nashville's airport) to "Trump International Airport". The bill requires the metropolitan airport authority to take several specific actions to implement this name change, including: erecting new signage, petitioning the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to update or surrender existing airport-related trademarks, revising all contracts and governing documents to reflect the new name, and ensuring the name change is recognized across local, state, and federal agencies. During the transition period, the airport may conduct business using its current name with the designation "doing business as Trump International Airport". The bill has a unique implementation timeline, taking effect immediately for administrative purposes but delaying the full name change until January 1, 2026. The legislation appears specifically targeted at Nashville International Airport, which is operated by a metropolitan airport authority in a county meeting the population criteria described in the bill.
