House Bill 2647 amends various sections of Chapter 135 of the Acts of 1903, specifically addressing the governance structure and election processes for the town of Jonesborough. The bill introduces a new provision for the election of a Vice Mayor by the Board, who will assume the Mayor's duties in their absence and until a new Mayor is elected in case of a vacancy. Additionally, it modifies the role of the town recorder, stating that the recorder will be the Director of the department of finance and will be subject to the town administrator's supervision and at-will removal. The recorder's salary will be determined by the Board, and they will have the authority to administer oaths.

Furthermore, the bill establishes new election timelines for the Mayor and Aldermen. The current Mayor's term will end in 2026, with elections for a two-year term scheduled for November 2026, followed by subsequent elections every two years. Two Aldermen will also have their terms expire in 2026, with elections for four-year terms occurring at the same time. The bill stipulates that no individual can run for both Mayor and Alderman in the same election, and if an Alderman wishes to run for Mayor, they must resign their current position first. The bill requires a two-thirds approval from the legislative body of Jonesborough to take effect.
