Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee election law by reducing the time period candidates have to remove their campaign signs, posters, and placards after an election from three weeks to two weeks. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 2-1-116 of the Tennessee Code Annotated by replacing the existing language "not to exceed three (3) weeks" with "not to exceed two (2) weeks" in subsection (a). The change shortens the window during which candidates are required to clean up their campaign materials from public spaces following an election. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, which notes that the public welfare requires its prompt implementation. This modest change could help reduce visual clutter and waste from campaign signage more quickly after election day.
