Local Government, General - As introduced, increases from seven to 10 days the duration of public notice required for a hearing by a municipal governing body to consider the extension of a long term contract, lease, or lease-purchase agreement for a period of five years or more. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 9; Title 12 and Title 13.
SB 2211 increases the required public notice period for municipal hearings on long-term contract extensions from seven to ten days. It applies specifically to municipal governing bodies considering contracts, leases, or lease-purchase agreements lasting five years or more. The bill amends Tennessee law to require at least ten days' notice before such hearings, giving residents more time to participate in decisions about significant local agreements. This change takes effect for contracts executed, renewed, modified, or extended on or after the law's effective date.
