Bill > SB2689

This bill, concerning the county highway department in Weakley County, Tennessee, clarifies that the County Highway Supervisor will continue to hold their elected office, provided they meet specific qualifications established by state law. These qualifications include being a U.S. citizen, a resident of Tennessee and Weakley County for at least two years, at least 25 years old, and possessing either an engineering degree with relevant experience or licensed to practice engineering in Tennessee, or having 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. The bill also states that the current supervisor will serve out their term, and future supervisors will be elected every four years starting in August 2026, with their salary determined by general law. 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 can still stand.
