House Bill 2665 amends the legal framework governing the County Attorney of Haywood County by updating several sections of Chapter 350 of the Private Acts of 1945. The bill specifies that the County Attorney must be licensed to practice law in Tennessee, with a preference for residents of Haywood County, although residency is not mandatory. It also outlines the responsibilities of the County Attorney, which include serving as legal counsel to the county government, advising officials, preparing legal opinions, and handling matters related to the issuance and sale of county bonds.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision allowing the County Commission to hire additional legal counsel when necessary. It also updates terminology by replacing "Quarterly County Court" with "County Commission" and "County Judge" with "County Mayor." The act will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Haywood County legislative body, with its approval being certified to the Secretary of State.
