House Bill 2165 and Senate Bill 2250 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically targeting local government regulations. The bill seeks to streamline existing legal language by deleting certain provisions. Notably, it removes the second sentence of Section 7-68-103(b) and eliminates the phrase ", and the official's subsequent conviction pursuant to 7-68-103(b)" from Section 7-68-104(e).
