House Bill 2328 and Senate Bill 2367 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically targeting population criteria for counties. The bills introduce new language in Section 13-6-105, adding a subdivision (4) that specifies counties with populations between 60,900 and 61,000, based on the 2020 federal census or a subsequent census. Additionally, Section 13-30-103(4) is amended to include a new subdivision (H) that mirrors this population criterion.

Furthermore, the bills include an amendment that adds a new subdivision (I) to Section 13-30-103(4), which addresses counties with populations between 220,000 and 220,100, along with a municipality within such counties. The legislation also amends Section 5-9-408 by designating existing language as subsection (a) and adding a new subsection (b) that applies to counties with populations under 700,000, according to the 2020 or subsequent federal census. These changes aim to clarify and update the legal framework regarding county classifications based on population.
