Bill > HB2627

This bill, concerning the private acts of Weakley County, Tennessee, clarifies that the County Highway Supervisor, who is the chief administrative officer responsible for building and maintaining the county's roads and bridges under state law (Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 54, Chapter 7, Parts 1 and 2), will continue in their elected office. The bill specifies that the current supervisor will serve out their term, and future supervisors will be elected by popular vote every four years starting in 2026. To qualify for the position, candidates must meet residency and age requirements, possess an engineering degree with relevant experience or be a licensed engineer, or have at least four years of supervisory experience in highway construction or maintenance, with a minimum of a high school education or GED. Importantly, this act will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Weakley County legislative body, with its provisions being severable in case any part is found invalid.
