Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee election law by changing the deadline for municipalities that require nonresident property owners to vote by absentee ballot to file their ordinance with the county election commission. Specifically, the bill extends the filing deadline from 60 days before an election to 75 days before an election. This means that municipalities must submit their absentee voting ordinances for nonresident property owners earlier than previously required, giving election commissions more time to prepare and process these voting arrangements. The change applies to Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 2-6-205, and will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the bill's second section. The purpose appears to be providing county election commissions with additional time to review and implement absentee voting ordinances for nonresident property owners, potentially improving election administrative processes.
