House Bill 1417 amends the election, compensation, and qualifications of the City Judge of Tullahoma. The bill extends the term of the current City Judge, who was elected under Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 16-18-203, for an additional year, moving the expiration date from August 2025 to the first Thursday in August 2026. Following this extension, the City Judge will be elected every eight years during the biannual municipal elections held on the first Thursday in August of even-numbered years. The compensation for the City Judge will be determined by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen through ordinance, and candidates must be practicing attorneys in good standing, residents of Tullahoma for at least one year prior to the election, and qualified voters in municipal elections.

Additionally, the bill includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be effective. The act will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of Tullahoma's legislative body, with the presiding officer responsible for certifying the approval to the secretary of state. The bill emphasizes the importance of public welfare, allowing it to become law immediately upon approval, while other provisions will take effect as specified.
