Senate Bill 2728 amends Chapter 350 of the Private Acts of 1945, specifically updating the qualifications and responsibilities of the County Attorney for Haywood County. The bill stipulates 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. The County Attorney is required to take an oath of office and will serve as legal counsel to the county government, advising officials such as the County Commission and County Mayor on legal matters, preparing legal opinions, and handling issues related to the issuance and sale of county bonds.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision allowing the County Commission to hire legal counsel other than the County Attorney when specialized legal assistance is 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.
