Tennessee removes a congressional district rule
The law deletes the last sentence of Tennessee Code Annotated § 2-16-102, which concerns congressional districts. The available text does not include that sentence, so the specific effect on Tennessee voters is unclear. The change took effect immediately when the act became law.
