Tennessee Property Rights Protection Act amends definitions and procedures for housing authorities regarding blighted property and eminent domain.
The Tennessee Property Rights Protection Act amends Tennessee Code to redefine "blighted property" as real property inspected and cited for exterior envelope violations, which have not been remedied within a reasonable time after two notices. It excludes agricultural land from this definition. The act also provides property owners a reasonable time to correct code violations before eminent domain proceedings. It allows housing authorities to acquire blighted property through eminent domain, but only for public use.
