Bill Summary · SB 1766

Legislative bill overview

SB 1766 revises provisions of Tennessee's Real Estate Infrastructure Development Act of 2025 by amending seven different Tennessee Code Annotated titles governing regional authorities, special districts, and related governance structures. The bill passed the Senate unanimously (32-0) on March 16, 2026, after committee recommendation and one amendment.

Why is this important

Real estate infrastructure development acts typically affect how local governments, special districts, and regional authorities can fund and execute development projects—potentially impacting property taxes, bond issuances, and land use decisions. These amendments across multiple titles suggest broad structural or procedural changes to how development authorities operate in Tennessee, affecting both municipalities and private developers.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope of amendment: The bill amends seven different titles simultaneously, making comprehensive analysis difficult without full text; coordinated changes across this many code sections often consolidate power or reduce local control
  • Special district authority: Changes to regional authorities and special districts may alter transparency, accountability, or public input requirements in development decisions
  • Unspecified tax or funding implications: Infrastructure development acts frequently involve new funding mechanisms, debt authorization, or tax increment financing that could impact local budgets
