Summary

The bill lets the West Tennessee Megasite Authority and local law‑enforcement agencies sign written agreements that give sworn officers authority to enforce state traffic statutes on privately owned roads inside megasites. Road owners must install and maintain MUTCD‑compliant signs and devices, and the agreements require approval by the authority’s board and the relevant county or municipal governing body, with a 30‑day termination clause. The measure seeks to improve safety on industrial private roadways that lack public traffic enforcement.
