HB 375 requires all Tennessee local governments (counties, cities, and metropolitan governments) to document the justification and cost basis for any fee exceeding $500. This documentation must be made publicly accessible upon request and undergo annual audit by the state comptroller of the treasury. The bill applies to departments, agencies, or officials that collect such fees, ensuring transparency in fee-setting. It aims to provide clear public accountability for high-cost local government fees through standardized documentation and oversight.
