Bill Summary
As introduced, changes from within 10 days to within 10 business days of receiving the results of an investigation of an applicant's qualifications to be licensed to operate an adult-oriented establishment, the time frame within which the county adult-oriented establishment board must notify the applicant whether the application is granted, denied, or held for further investigation. - Amends TCA Title 7, Chapter 51 and Title 39.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to change the timeframe for a county adult-oriented establishment board to notify an applicant about their license application. Previously, the board had ten calendar days after receiving investigation results to inform the applicant whether their license was granted, denied, or needed further review; this bill changes that to ten *business* days, meaning weekends and holidays do not count towards this notification period. This change is intended to provide a more practical and consistent timeline for businesses seeking to operate adult-oriented establishments, which are businesses that primarily feature or present sexually explicit material.
