AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 67, which relates to taxation, by extending the timeframe for religious, charitable, scientific, or nonprofit educational organizations to apply for property tax exemptions. Previously, these organizations had only 30 days to file an application after the exempt use of their property began, but this bill increases that period to 180 days, allowing more time for organizations to secure these exemptions, which are crucial for their operations by reducing their tax burden. Additionally, the bill clarifies that resolutions from a governing body are required for certain actions related to property tax, and it mandates that specific tax-related information, likely concerning property values or assessments, be updated annually. Finally, it increases the number of days from seven to twelve for certain tax-related processes, though the specific nature of these processes is not detailed in the provided text.
