Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) - As introduced, prohibits the use of the power of eminent domain over real property in an expedited manner during a declared emergency. - Amends TCA Title 29, Chapter 16; Title 29, Chapter 17; Title 54 and Title 58, Chapter 2.

HB 1285 prohibits the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) from using expedited eminent domain to take private real property during a declared emergency. The bill amends Tennessee law to explicitly state that "the power of eminent domain over real property must not be used in any expedited manner" during emergencies, while still allowing the governor to commandeer private property for emergency response. It directly affects property owners whose land might otherwise be seized quickly under emergency declarations. The law does not change the governor's ability to use eminent domain for emergencies but requires standard legal processes instead of fast-tracked procedures.
