House Bill 1657 and Senate Bill 1685 propose 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, the bill eliminates subsection (i) entirely from the same section.

The changes aim to streamline zoning regulations by removing potentially restrictive language and an entire subsection, thereby potentially facilitating more flexible zoning practices. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the amendments for public welfare.
