House Bill 919, also known as Senate Bill 1102, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 7-82-307(a)(2), by adding a new subdivision (D). This new provision specifies that in counties with populations between 42,700 and 42,800, and between 28,800 and 28,900, as determined by the 2020 federal census or any subsequent census, a commissioner is not prohibited from serving more than two consecutive terms. This change allows for greater flexibility in the tenure of commissioners in specific counties.

The bill emphasizes the importance of local governance by allowing certain counties to extend the terms of their commissioners beyond the previously established limit. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency and the public welfare considerations behind the amendment.
