Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 2.

Present law generally provides that a person must be registered as a voter of the precinct in which the person is a resident, and, if provided for by municipal charter or general law, may also be registered in a municipality in which the person owns real property in order to participate in that municipality's elections. Present law also provides that if a municipal charter provides for property rights voting, then no more than two persons are entitled to vote based upon the ownership of an individual tract of property regardless of the number of property owners. This bill adds to the present law by providing that if a municipal charter provides for property rights voting, the members of a limited liability company chartered in this state that owns property in the municipality are entitled to vote as long as (i) only two members vote based upon the ownership of an individual tract of property regardless of the number of members of the limited liability company, (ii) the individuals voting are residents of the county in which the municipality is located, and (iii) the individuals voting must not vote more than once in the municipal election.
