Senate Bill 2157, also known as House Bill 2366, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to establish regulations regarding tourism development zones. The bill introduces a new chapter under Title 7, which defines "local government" as an incorporated city, town, county, or metropolitan government, and "tourism development zone" as a designated geographical area within the jurisdiction of a local government.

The bill outlines specific access regulations for tourism development zones, stating that local governments cannot prohibit ingress or egress by vehicles or pedestrians, nor can they block streets or rights-of-way in a way that disrupts business operations or delivery services. However, local governments may temporarily restrict access for emergency responders or during events hosted under a contract with the event operator. This legislation aims to enhance the accessibility and functionality of tourism development zones while ensuring public safety and supporting local businesses.
