HB 2624 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Adamsville - Subject to local approval, revises provisions relating to the filling of a vacancy in the office of mayor or on the city commission. - Amends Chapter 32 of the Private Acts of 2009.

HB 2624 amends Adamsville's city charter to clarify procedures for filling vacancies in the mayor's office or city commission. It defines vacancies as occurring due to resignation, death, moving out of the city, removal, or conviction for certain crimes (including felonies or moral turpitude), which also bars offenders from holding office for 10 years. The city commission must appoint a replacement to serve until the next election, and if they fail to act within 45 days, the mayor appoints within 15 days. The bill requires Adamsville's legislative body to approve it by a two-thirds vote before taking effect. This directly affects Adamsville's local government operations and election processes.
