TN SB2191

Political subdivisions (counties, municipalities, metropolitan governments) may require developers to construct or pay for offsite public infrastructure improvements through cost-sharing arrangements based on proportionate utilization or impact of the development

Public infrastructure covered includes roads, streets, traffic signals, turn lanes, sidewalks, lighting, stormwater improvements, and utilities (water, wastewater, electric, gas, broadband) that will be dedicated to public entities

Political subdivisions have 60 days from the date of a developer's approval request to make a cost-sharing determination

Disputes over cost-sharing amounts may be resolved by the Tennessee Board of Utility Regulation

Political subdivisions may fund their share through impact fees from other developments, bond proceeds, or unencumbered tax revenues
