Gallatin - Subject to local approval, removes charter provision restricting appointed officers from being employed outside of city business hours. - Amends Chapter 67 of the Private Acts of 1953; as amended.
SB 1453 removes a charter restriction requiring most Gallatin city officers (except the city attorney) to work exclusively for the city during business hours. The bill deletes language from Gallatin's 1953 city charter that mandated officers "devote all of their time to their respective offices." This change would allow appointed city officers to hold outside employment during non-city business hours, subject to approval by Gallatin's city council with a two-thirds vote. The bill requires local legislative body approval before taking effect, as specified in Section 2.
