AI Summary
This bill modifies Tennessee election law by changing the timeline for municipalities that require nonresident property owners to vote by absentee ballot. Specifically, the bill extends the deadline for municipalities to file such ordinances with the county election commission from 60 days before an election to 75 days before an election. This change gives municipal governments and election commissions more time to process and prepare for absentee voting requirements for nonresident property owners. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, which emphasizes that the public welfare requires its prompt implementation. The modification is a minor administrative adjustment to the existing voting regulations in Tennessee's election code, aimed at providing additional administrative flexibility for local governments and election officials.
