Bill Summary

As introduced, authorizes municipalities to annex territory outside of their urban growth boundaries so long as the territory is not within another municipality's urban growth boundary. - Amends TCA Title 6, Chapter 51 and Title 6, Chapter 58.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law concerning how cities can expand their boundaries, known as annexation. Specifically, it removes a requirement that territory being annexed must be entirely within the annexing municipality's urban growth boundary, which is a designated area for future development. It also allows municipalities to annex territory in a county's planned growth area or rural area without needing to formally change the county's growth plan. The bill effectively broadens the conditions under which a municipality can annex land, provided that the territory is not already within another municipality's designated growth area.
