SB 2709 amends the town charter for Jonesborough, Tennessee, affecting how the town's local government operates. The bill changes the process for filling mayoral vacancies by allowing the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to directly elect a mayor from among the aldermen, rather than appointing a vice mayor to serve as mayor during vacancies. It also modifies the town recorder's requirements, allowing them to carry liability insurance instead of being bonded as previously required. Additionally, the bill updates election schedules, setting specific dates for mayoral and aldermanic elections to occur in August of even-numbered years, with terms structured to align with county election cycles. These changes would apply to the Town of Jonesborough's local government operations.
