Tennessee HB0980 authorizes a tourism development authority that owns property within a municipality to petition for the deannexation of that property, provided it does not create unincorporated territory surrounded by municipal boundaries. The bill requires the petition to include a map and mandates the municipality to assess any existing debt related to the property within 30 days. Deannexation becomes effective 60 days after the petition is received, ceasing municipal jurisdiction over the territory, except for responsibilities related to any debts incurred after the property was annexed.
