House Bill 1419, also known as Senate Bill 1441, proposes amendments to the Private Acts of 1953 concerning the General Sessions and Juvenile Courts of Montgomery County, Tennessee. The bill establishes a fifth division of these courts, which will have the same jurisdiction and powers as the existing divisions. It creates the position of a fifth General Sessions and Juvenile Courts Judge, who will be appointed until an election is held in August 2026. The appointed judge will serve until September 1, 2026, after which a judge will be elected for an eight-year term, with subsequent elections occurring every eight years thereafter.

Additionally, the bill modifies the rotation of the presiding judge among the divisions. The previous requirement for rotation every three years among the first three divisions has been amended to include all five divisions, with a new rotation period of five years. The bill also mandates that the Montgomery County Commission provide necessary resources for the new division and expands the responsibilities of the Clerk of the General Sessions and Juvenile Courts to include Division Five. The act will take effect upon a two-thirds approval from the county legislative body.
