Election Laws - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee Ballot Access Act." - Amends TCA Title 2.

HB 2613, the "Tennessee Ballot Access Act," defines "natural born citizen" for federal office eligibility, specifically targeting candidates for president or vice president. It states a "natural born citizen" must be born to U.S. citizen parents (not naturalized citizens), referencing historical interpretation of the U.S. Constitution's Article II. The bill mandates this definition for ballot access, requiring candidates to meet this standard to be listed on Tennessee ballots for federal offices. It does not affect state elections or other offices, focusing solely on federal presidential/vice-presidential candidates. The bill is currently pending review by the Elections & Campaign Finance Subcommittee.
