House Bill 1437, also known as Senate Bill 1461, proposes significant amendments to the Charter for the City of Crossville, as established in Chapter 519 of the Private Acts of 1953. The bill aims to expand 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 city officials, setting the mayor's salary at 15% of the Cumberland County Mayor's salary and council members' salaries at 5% of the mayor's salary. The bill also addresses operational procedures for the City Council, including meeting schedules and the powers of the city court and judge, while increasing the penalty for unpaid taxes from 2% to 3%.

Further amendments include the authorization for a municipal or general sessions judge to act in place of the city judge during their absence, incompetency, or disability, and the establishment of administrative hearings and hearing officers under Tennessee law. The bill makes 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.
