House Bill 1434 amends Chapter 68 of the Private Acts of 1937, as previously modified by Chapter 63 of the Private Acts of 2003, specifically addressing provisions related to Hardeman County. The bill proposes to change the percentage specified in Section (3)(a) from "eighty-five percent (85%)" to "ninety-two percent (92%)". This adjustment reflects an increase in the percentage, which may impact the financial or operational parameters set forth in the original legislation.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that it will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the legislative body of Hardeman County. The outcome of this vote will be announced by the presiding officer of the legislative body and certified to the secretary of state, in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8, Chapter 3, Part 2. While the bill will become effective upon becoming law for the purpose of approval or rejection, it will only be fully effective for other purposes once the legislative approval is secured.
