Senate Bill 339 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 13-7-403(a)(1), to change the term length for members of the historic zoning commission from five years to six years. The bill maintains the provision for staggered terms, ensuring that at least one but no more than two members' terms expire each year. The existing language regarding the initial appointments and staggered terms is retained, ensuring continuity in the commission's membership.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that current members of historic zoning commissions will serve out their existing terms without extension. As these terms expire, the chief executive responsible for making appointments will fill vacancies with new members who will serve the newly established six-year terms. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare.
