Bolivar - Subject to local approval, changes the appointing authority for vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Bolivar Energy Authority from the mayor to the members of the Board of Directors. - Amends Chapter 130 of the Private Acts of 2006.
This Tennessee bill changes how vacancies are filled on the Bolivar Energy Authority's board of directors, shifting the power to appoint new members from the mayor to the existing board members themselves. Under the new rules, the board selects candidates for open seats, but their choices must still receive approval from the City of Bolivar's city council within a specific timeframe. The legislation requires a two-thirds vote by the city council to officially adopt these changes, ensuring the local government retains final say over the reform. Once approved, the updated process will apply to future board appointments while the current board members continue serving their existing terms.
