Bill > HB1424

This bill proposes to modify the city charter of Gallatin, Tennessee by removing a restriction that previously required city officers (except the city attorney) to devote all of their time exclusively to their city positions. The bill would eliminate the existing language that mandated full-time commitment, potentially allowing appointed city officers to have additional employment outside of their city government roles. However, the bill will only take effect if it is approved by a two-thirds vote of the Gallatin city legislative body. Once approved by the local legislative body, the presiding officer must proclaim the approval and certify it to the Tennessee secretary of state. The bill is designed to provide more flexibility for city officers in terms of their employment, giving them the option to pursue work outside of their municipal duties, which was previously prohibited by the city's charter.
