Bill > SB153

This bill amends the charter for the Town of Tazewell by changing the residency requirements for the Town Manager, who is the chief administrative and executive officer of the town's government. Previously, the Town Manager was required to live within the town limits during their tenure. This bill removes that strict requirement, instead encouraging the Town Manager to reside within the town and allowing them to live within a reasonable distance outside the town limits if the town council, by a majority vote, approves it. The bill also makes minor wording changes to clarify that the Town Manager is chosen based on qualifications and not political beliefs, and that the council should interact with the town's administrative services solely through the Town Manager.
