HB 388 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Municipal Government - As enacted, extends from June 30, 2028, to June 30, 2038, the deadline by which a municipality that continues to receive an allocation of state sales tax revenue pursuant to the now-repealed Courthouse Square Revitalization Pilot Project Act of 2005, will continue to receive the allocation of the revenue. - Amends TCA Title 6 and Title 67, Chapter 6.

HB 388 removes the June 30, 2028, expiration date for municipalities that continue to receive state sales tax revenue allocated under a now-repealed 2005 program (the Courthouse Square Revitalization Pilot Project Act). It directly affects eligible municipalities by making their ongoing revenue allocation permanent. The bill amends Tennessee law to delete the termination date and clarifies that the "courthouse square revitalization zone" refers to the area defined as of June 1, 2015. This is a procedural change to extend an existing financial provision, not a new policy.
