Senate Bill 2693, also known as House Bill 2634, proposes amendments to Chapter 238 of the Acts of 1903, specifically concerning the qualifications for holding the office of Mayor or Alderman in the City of Millington. The bill deletes the existing SECTION 4.03 and replaces it with new language that stipulates that candidates for these offices must be qualified voters under Tennessee law and must have been bona fide residents of the City for at least one year prior to the election.
The bill requires a two-thirds vote of the legislative body of the City of Millington for it to take effect. The presiding officer of the legislative body is responsible for proclaiming the approval or disapproval of the act, which will then be certified to the secretary of state. While the act will become effective immediately for the purpose of approval or rejection, it will only take effect for all other purposes once the necessary legislative approval is obtained.
