House Bill 1437 proposes significant amendments to the Charter for the City of Crossville, particularly updating Chapter 519 of the Private Acts of 1953. The bill expands the city's boundaries to incorporate various annexation ordinances and modifies voting eligibility by replacing the requirement of owning a taxable freehold assessed at a specific value with the broader term "taxable freehold real estate asset." Additionally, it revises the compensation structure for the mayor and council members, setting the mayor's salary at 15% of the Cumberland County Mayor's salary and council members at 5% of the mayor's salary, with any compensation increases taking effect only after the next election. The bill also clarifies operational procedures for the City Council, including meeting schedules and special meeting protocols, and outlines the powers and duties of the city court and judge.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for administrative hearings and the appointment of administrative hearing officers, allowing the municipal or general sessions judge to act in place of the city judge when necessary. It includes several deletions and substitutions, such as replacing a fixed amount of "five thousand dollars ($5,000)" with a variable amount determined by the purchasing and bidding ordinance, and deleting Articles XXIII, XXIV, and XXV, which will be replaced by a charter amendment in 2025. The bill will take effect upon a two-thirds vote from the legislative body of the City of Crossville, with certain provisions becoming effective immediately for public welfare purposes.
