Local Government, General - As enacted, authorizes municipalities and metropolitan governments to adopt a tiered system of monetary penalties for repeated violations of the same municipal ordinance by the same person or entity within a 12-month period. - Amends TCA Title 6 and Title 7.
HB 1667 allows Tennessee cities and counties to create tiered fines for repeat violations of the same local ordinance by the same person or business within a 12-month period. It amends state law to authorize home rule municipalities (Section 6-54-306), regular municipalities (Section 6-54-308), and metropolitan governments (Section 7-3-507) to adopt this system through local ordinances. The bill takes effect July 1, 2026, meaning it would apply to violations occurring on or after that date, but does not change existing penalty structures for first-time offenses.
