Senate Bill 2703, also known as House Bill 2642, amends the existing legal framework governing the office of County Attorney for Hamblen County. The bill establishes that the County Attorney will be elected annually by the Hamblen County Commission during the September meeting designated for this purpose. It also modifies the compensation structure for the County Attorney, stipulating an annual retainer fee of $1,200, payable in monthly installments from the county's general funds. Additionally, the County Attorney is entitled to receive reasonable compensation for legal services rendered and reimbursement for actual expenses incurred, subject to review by the County Legislative Body.

The bill includes specific deletions and substitutions in the existing law, notably replacing the previous SECTION 1 and SECTION 2 with new provisions. SECTION 3 is also amended to clarify the payment structure and conditions for the County Attorney's compensation. The act requires a two-thirds vote from the legislative body of Hamblen County for it to take effect, with provisions for immediate effectiveness regarding its approval or rejection.
