The Tennessee General Assembly will be back in session next month and state lawmakers have already pre-filed legislation, including resolutions that could result in a constitutional amendment to permanently ban statewide property tax in Tennessee.
Senate Joint Resolution 1 (SJR0001), is sponsored by Sen. Ferrell Haile (R-Gallatin-District 18).
According to the bill summary, SJR0001, is “a resolution to propose an amendment to Article II, Section 28 of the Constitution of Tennessee, to prohibit taxation of property by the State.”
This legislation would prohibit the general assembly from “levying, authorizing, or otherwise permitting a state tax on property.”
