SB 2972 Tennessee Senate · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Carroll County - Subject to local approval, establishes the office of highway supervisor; aligns the powers and duties of the highway supervisor with the Tennessee County Uniform Highway Law. - Amends Chapter 148 of the Private Acts of 1986; as amended.

This bill creates a new, elected Office of Highway Supervisor for Carroll County to manage local roads and highways. The position would be filled by a vote of county residents every four years, starting in 2026, and the official would have the same powers and duties as those defined in the state's uniform highway law. Before this change takes effect, the bill must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the Carroll County legislative body. If approved, the new supervisor will oversee administrative functions and replace the current system under the existing private acts.
