HB 330 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Taxes, Sales - As introduced, requires the department of economic and community development to revise and certify the population of each county and municipality, and the aggregate population of the state, prior to July 1 each year during the interim between the regular decennial federal census to ensure equitable allocation and distribution of the local share of state sales tax revenue; requires the Boyd Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Tennessee, through the Tennessee state data center, to generate annual population estimates for each county and municipality and provide the estimates to the department of economic and community development for review and certification. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 3, Part 7; Section 9-16-101 and Title 67, Chapter 6.

HB 330 requires Tennessee's Department of Economic and Community Development to update and certify county and municipal population figures annually by July 1st, between federal censuses. The Boyd Center at the University of Tennessee will generate these annual population estimates for the department to review and certify. This ensures state sales tax revenue is distributed equitably based on current population data, rather than outdated census figures. The bill directly affects all counties and municipalities receiving state sales tax funds, as their allocations will now be adjusted using these updated annual population numbers.
