AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 13, Chapter 7, which deals with zoning regulations, by removing a requirement that a structure rebuilt on a site must conform to the zoning regulations that were in effect at the time of the new construction. Specifically, it deletes language from Section 13-7-208(d)(1) that limited rebuilding to what was "necessary to the conduct of such industry or business" and removes subsection (i) entirely, thereby allowing for greater flexibility when rebuilding structures that may have been damaged or destroyed, without mandating strict adherence to current zoning laws.
