AI Summary
This bill, amending Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Titles 5, 6, 7, and 67, aims to protect access to designated tourism development zones, which are geographical areas within a local government's jurisdiction (like a city, town, or county) that have been officially recognized for tourism purposes. Specifically, it prohibits local governments from blocking or impeding the entry or exit of private or commercial vehicles and pedestrians into these zones, and from obstructing streets or rights-of-way within them in a way that disrupts businesses, deliveries, or transportation services like taxis and ride-sharing. The only exceptions allow local governments to temporarily restrict access or block streets within these zones for emergencies requiring exclusive access for first responders or for events hosted by the local government under contract with an event organizer.
