Votes at a glance: Private Acts Committee advances 15 local bills (unanimous votes)
Summary
The Private Acts Committee advanced the majority of items on its March 16 agenda—most by unanimous voice/recorded tallies—sending numerous local charter and administrative private acts to the House State and Local Government Committee and rolling a small number to next week.
At its March 16 meeting the Tennessee House Private Acts Committee considered 19 agenda items. Most measures were private acts submitted by cities and counties and were advanced to the House State and Local Government Committee, typically on unanimous committee votes.
Clerk tallies reported recorded votes such as 11–0 (multiple bills) and 10–0 or 9–0 for a few items; a handful of bills were rolled to a future week (for example, HB 1422). The items advanced include (not exhaustive in transcript order) HB 2639 (Henry County severance tax on clay and titanium), HB 2649 (Bristol charter changes), HB 2650 (Obion County road superintendent), HB 2646 (Williamson County hospital sale authority), HB 2658 (White Bluff property-owner voting, 5,000 sq ft threshold), HB 2654 (Sardis charter updates), HB 2637 (Athens compensation authority), HB 2653 (Rutherford County highway commission rewrite), HB 2655 (Unicoi mineral tax alignment), HB 2656 (Lafayette election timing and mayoral changes), HB 2624 (Adamsville vacancy procedures), HB 2651 (Grand Junction town administrator), HB 2652 (Oakland town manager authority), and HB 2648 (Kingsport charter amendments). Several of the bills were explicitly recorded as moving to State and Local Government after being advanced out of committee.
Next procedural steps for advanced bills are referral to the House State and Local Government Committee and any subsequent local approval or implementation steps described in the private acts themselves.
