Senate Bill 2442, also known as "The Jeff Burkhart Act," amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding business improvement districts. The bill modifies the definition of "Municipality" in Section 7-84-503(8) by deleting the existing subdivision and replacing it with a new definition that encompasses any incorporated city, town, metropolitan government, or county in Tennessee that exercises general governmental functions.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 7-84-513 by changing the time frame for certain actions from "nor more than forty-five (45) days" to "nor more than sixty (60) days." This change aims to provide more flexibility in the timeline for business improvement districts. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the public welfare.
