Subcommittee moves airport‑term alignment bill to full committee
Summary
HB 1691 would shorten Upper Cumberland Airport authority terms from five to four years so elections align with mayoral cycles in White and Putnam counties; subcommittee approved the bill unanimously.
Representative Cheryl presented HB 1691 on behalf of the Upper Cumberland Airport authority, proposing a reduction of authority terms from five to four years so elections for airport authority members coincide with mayoral election cycles. "The Upper Cumberland Airport... would like to ask to reduce the airport authority term from 5 years to 4 years," he said, explaining the change would bring the authority's election cycle into alignment with mayors.
Committee members voiced no objections; the subcommittee voted 9‑0 to send HB 1691 to the full Transportation Committee.
