Amends TCA Title 13.

Tennessee SB1313 amends the process for establishing vested property rights by allowing rights to vest upon the submission of development plans or building permits, rather than their approval, and ensures compliance with local development ordinances. The bill affects local governments and property developers, altering vesting periods to begin at submission and extending them based on compliance with local standards. Key changes include specifying that development standards remain in effect from the date of submission and allowing local governments to delegate certain zoning appeal powers to administrative officials while establishing timelines for decision-making.
