Bill > SB1460

This bill proposes multiple amendments to the city charter of Erin, Tennessee, focusing on clarifying and updating various definitions, qualifications, and procedures for city government. The bill modifies the definition of "elector" to include non-residents who own at least 50% of a property within the city, adds new corporate powers for the Board of Mayor and Aldermen such as contracting, borrowing money, and making appointments to boards and commissions, and establishes more specific eligibility requirements for mayor and alderman positions. The bill also revises provisions related to city officials, including the roles of the recorder, treasurer, city attorney, and city judge, and introduces stricter rules about conflict of interest and personal profit from city connections. Key changes include extending the residency requirement for city officials to 24 months, specifying grounds for vacancies in office, and updating financial procedures like tax levies and property sales. The bill will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Erin city legislative body, ensuring local input and consent for these charter modifications.
