Hamblen County - Subject to local approval, abolishes the Hamblen County Road Commission, effective August 31, 2028. - Repeals Chapter 313 of the Private Acts of 1949; as amended.

SB 2705 ends Hamblen County's Road Commission and replaces it with an elected Road Superintendent position, effective August 31, 2028. The bill repeals all historical laws governing the county's highway department (Chapter 313 of the 1949 Private Acts and its amendments) and creates a new elected role to manage roads, bridges, and sanitation oversight. This change directly affects Hamblen County residents through their local government structure, as the Road Superintendent will be elected by county voters every four years starting in 2028. The bill requires approval by a two-thirds vote of Hamblen County's legislative body to take effect.
