Summary

SB303 would expand the city limits of Hytop by annexing two segments of State Highway 79 right‑of‑way in Jackson County.

What This Bill Does

The act alters Hytop's boundaries to include two SH 79 right-of-way tracts: one from Hytop's southern boundary south along SH 79 to the SH79/SH146 intersection, and another from Hytop's northern boundary north along SH 79 to the Tennessee state line. A map showing the proposed annexation is on file with the Jackson County Judge of Probate for public inspection.
