Senate Bill 2709 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 from among the Aldermen, who will assume the Mayor's duties in the event of absence or 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 supervision and at-will removal by the town administrator. The recorder's responsibilities include attesting to town instruments and administering oaths.

Furthermore, the bill establishes new election timelines for the Mayor and Aldermen, specifying that the current Mayor's term will expire in 2026, with elections for a two-year term occurring in November 2026. The elections for Aldermen will also follow a staggered schedule, with terms expiring in 2026 and 2028, and subsequent elections held in conjunction with the Washington County general elections. The bill also includes provisions to prevent individuals from running for both Mayor and Alderman simultaneously and requires that any sitting Alderman wishing to run for Mayor must resign their current position first. The act will take effect upon a two-thirds approval from the legislative body of Jonesborough.
