Bill > SB1427

This bill abolishes the Bedford County road board and replaces it with a County Road Superintendent system. Specifically, the bill repeals previous acts related to the county's road governance and establishes a new position of County Road Superintendent who will be responsible for highway management. The superintendent will be elected every four years starting in August 2028, must have at least five years of full-time experience in highway or bridge construction, and be of good moral character. The bill ensures a smooth transition by allowing current road board members to complete their terms and the current superintendent to serve until their term expires. The act will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Bedford County legislative body. The goal is to create a more efficient system for road, highway, and bridge maintenance in accordance with Tennessee's County Uniform Highway Law, with the superintendent serving as the chief administrative officer of the county's highway department.
