Bill > HB7006

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 the replacement of the existing description of these districts with a new, detailed breakdown of which counties and specific geographic areas, referred to as Voting Tabulation Districts (VTDs) and blocks, belong to each of the nine congressional districts. This process of redrawing district lines is commonly known as redistricting and is typically done every ten years following the U.S. Census to ensure each district has roughly equal population. The bill specifies that it will take effect immediately upon becoming law, citing public welfare as the reason for its urgency.
