Senate Bill 1059, also known as House Bill 1073, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 2-14-105, which pertains to the timeline for holding special elections. The bill changes the current requirement from "Within ten (10) days after receipt of an order to hold a special election" to "Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an order to hold a special election." This extension of time aims to provide additional flexibility for the organization and execution of special elections.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the changes for the public welfare. By allowing a longer period for the preparation of special elections, the legislation seeks to enhance the electoral process in Tennessee.
