Planning, Public - As introduced, authorizes the City of Clarksville and Montgomery County to participate in the Tennessee local land bank program. - Amends TCA Title 13, Chapter 30.
HB 1988 proposed to amend Tennessee law to allow Clarksville and Montgomery County to join the state's local land bank program by establishing specific population thresholds. The bill would have required Clarksville's population to fall between 166,700 and 166,800, and Montgomery County's between 220,000 and 220,100, based on the 2020 or later census. This change would have directly enabled these two jurisdictions to participate in the land bank program, which helps manage vacant or abandoned properties. The bill was introduced in 2026 but withdrawn the same year.
