This bill, effective January 1, 2027, prohibits individuals from simultaneously holding an elected office at the local government level and another elected office anywhere in Tennessee, with an exception for offices within a political party's state executive committee. However, it "grandfathers" or allows individuals who are already holding more than one such elected office as of January 1, 2027, to continue in those roles and be reelected until their current terms expire, after which they will be subject to the new prohibition.
