Bill > HB2648

This bill, subject to local approval by a two-thirds vote of the City of Kingsport's legislative body, makes several changes to the city's charter, including specifying that the board will choose a vice-mayor from its own members at the first meeting after a general city election to serve in the mayor's absence or if a vacancy occurs, and altering the process for issuing warrants to collect delinquent taxes by allowing the recorder to issue them after December 1st, with the tax books having the force of a court judgment. It also removes the requirement to publish a tentative appropriation ordinance, which is the city's plan for spending money, in a newspaper, and shifts the date when elected members of the board of education, responsible for overseeing the city's schools, take office and select a president from July 1st to September 1st following their election.
