This bill, concerning the private acts of Weakley County, Tennessee, clarifies that the County Highway Supervisor will continue in their elected position, provided they meet specific qualifications established by state law. The bill creates the office of County Highway Supervisor as the chief administrative officer of the county highway department, which is responsible for building and maintaining roads according to the County Uniform Highway Law. To qualify for this role, individuals must be U.S. citizens, residents of Tennessee and Weakley County for at least two years, at least 25 years old, and possess either an engineering degree with relevant experience or licensed to practice engineering in Tennessee, or have at least four years of supervisory experience in highway construction or maintenance, or an equivalent combination of education and experience, 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, and its provisions are declared severable, meaning if one part is found invalid, the rest will remain in effect.
