Senate Bill 1676, sponsored by Walley, proposes amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 13, Chapter 7, which pertains to zoning regulations. The bill specifically targets Section 13-7-208, where it removes the phrase "necessary to the conduct of such industry or business" from subsection (d)(1). Additionally, it eliminates subsection (i) entirely from the same section.
