HB 2115 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

County Boundaries - As introduced, increases from 90 days to 100 days the amount of time that a joint committee on county consolidation has following its receipt of a petition of consolidation to report its findings and recommendations on the feasibility of consolidation of the petitioning county with another county. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 9; Title 12 and Title 67.

HB 2115 extends the deadline for joint county consolidation committees in Tennessee from 90 to 100 days to review petitions and report findings on merging counties. This bill directly affects counties that file consolidation petitions, giving committees more time to assess feasibility before making recommendations. The change modifies Tennessee Code Sections in Titles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 67 related to local government procedures. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on adjusting the review timeline without altering consolidation requirements or outcomes.
