House Bill 2627, also known as Senate Bill 2689, amends the private acts of Weakley County to establish the position of County Highway Supervisor, who will serve as the chief administrative officer of the county's highway department. This act outlines the responsibilities related to the construction, maintenance, and repair of roads, highways, and bridges within the county. The bill stipulates that the current County Highway Supervisor will continue in their role until the end of their term, with elections for the position occurring every four years, starting in August 2026. The salary for the County Highway Supervisor will be determined according to general law.

To qualify for the position of County Highway Supervisor, candidates must meet specific criteria, including being a U.S. citizen, a resident of Tennessee and Weakley County for at least two years, and at least 25 years old. Additionally, candidates must possess either a degree in engineering with relevant experience or significant supervisory experience in highway construction or maintenance. The bill also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The act requires a two-thirds vote from the legislative body of Weakley County for approval and will take effect immediately for the purpose of approval, while other provisions will be effective as specified.
