Bill > SB7006

This bill, titled "AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, Chapter 16 and Chapter 742 of the Public Acts of 2026, relative to congressional districts," proposes to revise the boundaries of Tennessee's nine congressional districts. The core of the bill is found in Section 1, which amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 2-16-103(b) by replacing the existing description of congressional districts with a new one. This new description meticulously outlines the counties and specific geographic blocks (referred to as "VTD" or Voting Tabulation Districts, and "Block" followed by a numerical code) that constitute each of the nine congressional districts. Essentially, this legislation redraws the lines that define where voters live for the purpose of electing representatives to the U.S. House of Representatives. Section 2 states that the act will become law immediately upon its passage, as it is deemed necessary for the public welfare.
