Amends TCA Title 13, Chapter 7.

Tennessee HB0317 amends the training and procedural requirements for boards of zoning appeals in counties and municipalities. It mandates that board members receive training on property rights and constitutional rights, removes the option for local legislative bodies to opt out of training requirements, and requires specific procedural rules to be established, including the maintenance of public records and the presentation of relevant proof in proceedings. Additionally, it requires building officials to inform applicants of their right to appeal decisions to the board of zoning appeals.
