Bill Summary
As introduced, prohibits a county from having a district for a member of the county legislative body that encompasses the entire county; prohibits a member of a county legislative body from being elected for an at-large district. - Amends TCA Title 5.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law concerning county legislative bodies, which are the local governing bodies in each county. Specifically, it prohibits counties from having a district for a county commissioner that covers the entire county, and it also prohibits county commissioners from being elected to represent such "at-large" districts, meaning districts that encompass the whole county. This change will take effect after the 2030 federal census, and any county currently operating with an at-large district must change its charter to comply by that time, as this provision is considered remedial, meaning it aims to correct an existing issue.
