AI Summary
This bill allows long-serving members of the Tennessee General Assembly to collect signatures from registered voters outside of their specific legislative district to qualify for the ballot, provided those voters reside within the same county as the district. Specifically, senators who have served at least eight consecutive years and representatives who have served at least ten consecutive years are granted this expanded ability to gather signatures for their nominating petitions, which are official documents required for candidates to appear on an election ballot. This change aims to provide these experienced lawmakers with more flexibility in their petitioning process.
