SB2022 amends Tennessee utility relocation laws to clarify reimbursement policies and expand eligible utility categories.

SB2022 amends Tennessee Code to update utility relocation reimbursement policies and expand the categories of utilities eligible for reimbursement. The bill modifies the definition of "utility" to include modern digital infrastructure such as broadband and fiber-optic services. It also establishes a reimbursement framework where utilities relocating at a cost under $2.5 million receive full reimbursement, while those over $2.5 million receive a minimum reimbursement with potential for higher amounts based on specific project factors.
