The change matters because it updates municipal boundary descriptions and charter language for Crossville; the city provided a resolution supporting the bill, and the committee voted to advance the measure.

Chairman Crawford said the bill “was sent to me from Crossville… and it makes a few minor changes to the corporate boundaries, in their charter and a few other things. But, we we do have resolution from the city of Crossville on this.” No committee amendments were recorded, and no substantive questions were raised.

The charter change matters because it replaces the town’s governing document; sponsors said the measure contains multiple changes but did not read each change into the record. The sponsor offered to read the changes if members wished, but the committee proceeded to vote after questions were called.

Chairwoman Hilton Hayes described the bill as a complete repeal and replacement of the charter for Ridgetide, Tennessee, and offered to read the changes into the record. Representative Burkhart objected only to the calling of questions for discussion; no substantive amendments or technical details were recorded in the transcript. The clerk announced the committee vote: 17 ayes, 0 nays. The bill moves on to calendar and rules.

The transcript does not include the text of the new charter language or any fiscal notes. The committee record shows an affirmative vote to advance the private act to the next committee stage.","House Bill 14-39, a private act to repeal and replace the charter of Ridgetide in Hamilton County, was approved by the committee and advanced to calendar and rules by a recorded voice vote of 17-0.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6595913,"Union County permitting fee proposal to charge 50¢ per square foot fails in committee",133,766000,899000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3021545-97065dcdcc1d67f404242260897f1362&start=766&end=899","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3021545-97065dcdcc1d67f404242260897f1362/thumbnail_766000.jpg","/articles/6595913/Tennessee/Union-County-permitting-fee-proposal-to-charge-50-per-square-foot-fails-in-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6595913-a4b68ed21ade1d178ffae04512d63e91/orig.mp4?Expires=1774857984&Signature=ApZ5dQkYYe5H8RAcyEuB20vStFILRjccp0FinJTytrlCG~UYinG8KHDrs7iIVzywp7Omkl4xnPBNh4KzETieJ2KYEkYtzjvwmHAk7qfzv22SB3qljtoplXFezaya1GRPW~C1puvwEJ5v~MQo~Z-G0~l-416-LOuV6Gw0mp5-uYxrPnBwF7Y7RD48oHk6XaKooGqJTOt8YDHx~UXvXpxvIHez8tSdHf4COSbR51Q1QpXmcFOq-PiVHk99-uF2c4sjOekCTswpIwgbl9AzONm1mMe3FTQuXiHwMRPyZjRrEynMSjdBXAhW00RgPRYs-~cs1gn1GTiil55mQhv7mRLbZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chairman Powers, sponsor of House Bill 14-30, described the measure as a local bill for Union County that would set building permit fees at 50 cents per square foot for residential and commercial permits and said the last fee increase occurred in February 2005.

The bill matters because it would change the local revenue collected for building permits in a county described in the record as a destination for country-music-related tourism; the measure drew questions about whether the change is a tax or a fee and did not receive committee approval.

Sponsor Chairman Powers said the bill “simply recalculates the rate of building permits from a flat fee to 50¢ per square foot for both residential and commercial. The last time they increased the permitting fee was in 02/2005.” When Representative Warner asked whether the change would be considered a tax, Powers responded, “No. I I think taxes have to be, usually have to go vote on by the general public and put on the put on the ballot. This is a fee increase…”

Representative Warner moved to send the bill to summer study; the motion was called but failed for lack of a second. Representative McCallum then moved the previous question, and the committee proceeded to a vote. The clerk announced the tally: 4 ayes, 6 nays, and 7 present not voting. The chair declared the bill failed.

The transcript records the sponsor’s description, an exchange about whether the measure is a tax or a fee, the failed motion to send the bill to summer study, and the final vote; it does not record precise revenue estimates, the identities of permit categories beyond “residential and commercial,” or implementation dates.","House Bill 14-30, which would have changed Union County building permit fees to 50¢ per square foot, was debated and failed in committee 4-6 with 7 present not voting; sponsor and members disputed whether the change constituted a tax.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6595917,"Committee approves transfer of Lauderdale County probate and juvenile court functions to justice complex",95,661000,756000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3021545-97065dcdcc1d67f404242260897f1362&start=661&end=756","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3021545-97065dcdcc1d67f404242260897f1362/thumbnail_661000.jpg","/articles/6595917/Tennessee/Committee-approves-transfer-of-Lauderdale-County-probate-and-juvenile-court-functions-to-justice-complex","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6595917-25e9ad680d96c743ea4dc4e9e26e3ff3/orig.mp4?Expires=1774857984&Signature=cAdFIlBPqwiEF-5c2KQsqPo2W~53NLyPwrq6ybRwT5tFJX7wzQlxn5mGhAqZ6iN~VSiQe9lfE~5~LFEYPizm~OIJv1UbYVT3X2GA1AAnlcT0Ozdx9IfOnl~ciPK5uXewK3leldjwxArFIlU1tsVgu~vCp8Ipp0puqzII3uOei15eRNyWN3RZJZ9LiNlrVsOqbeP1sTJx8jObHGgP6r-ppcc3EwVcRlYG6O0ttkiG6m1Mi5qnNCiWfgvu2oBduyfXDBvCyjGkGepvKWK0k~26ypdPVvdFSKvz1eZDMY5Db0HlNsOyPVfBDOJZJT31~aVYg09ujwoKpVJ2W1LCsZJh9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chairman Hurd, sponsor of House Bill 14-23, told the State and Local Government Committee that the measure would shift probate and juvenile court functions in Lauderdale County to other local courts and allow the county commission to transfer certain clerk duties after local approval.

The bill matters because it changes where court services are delivered and how related clerk duties are assigned in Lauderdale County, and it requires local approval before some transfers take effect.

House Bill 14-23, as read into the record by Chairman Hurd, “provides for the orderly transfer of the probate and juvenile court in Lauderdale County from the county Courthouse to the Justice Complex” and specifies that, upon expiration of the presiding judge’s full term, the probate court’s jurisdiction and clerk duties would move to the chancery court and the juvenile jurisdiction and clerk duties to the general sessions court. The sponsor also said the county commission may transfer clerk-related duties at any time after approval and certification of the act.

Committee members placed amendment 7419 on the bill without objection. After brief procedural motions, the committee voted and the clerk announced the result: 16 ayes, 0 nays. The committee’s action sends the amended bill on to the calendar and rules committee.

No statutes, time frames for implementation, or names of affected judges or clerks were specified in the committee record. The transcript records the sponsor’s description and the committee vote but does not include additional technical details about transition steps or operational timelines.

The committee took no other formal direction on implementation; the certified bill and any local approvals will determine next steps before the transfers described in the bill would occur.","The State and Local Government Committee amended and approved House Bill 14-23 to transfer probate and juvenile court jurisdictions and related clerk duties in Lauderdale County to other local courts, moving the bill to calendar and rules by voice vote.","actionData","errors"]
