AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee election law by modifying the time period candidates have to remove campaign signs, posters, and placards after an election. Specifically, the bill reduces the allowed removal period from three weeks to two weeks after the election. This change is made to Section 2-1-116 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, which governs the timing for candidates to clean up their campaign materials. By shortening the removal window, the bill aims to encourage more prompt removal of campaign signage from public spaces. The amendment takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the bill's second section, which emphasizes that the public welfare requires its quick implementation.
