SB 767 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Economic and Community Development, Dept. of - As introduced, requires that a broadband ready community’s ordinance or policy for reviewing applications must contain a provision that all applications related to the project be either approved or denied within 30 calendar days, rather than 30 business days, after the applications are submitted. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 7; Title 13; Title 65 and Title 67.

SB 767 requires local governments in "broadband ready communities" to review broadband project applications within 30 calendar days (not 30 business days) after submission. This change directly affects municipalities and applicants by shortening the review timeline to include weekends and holidays. The bill amends Tennessee Code sections related to broadband development to implement this 30-day calendar deadline requirement. It aims to streamline the approval process for broadband infrastructure projects without altering other policy details.
