Tullahoma - Subject to local approval, rewrites the city charter. - Amends Chapter 553 of the Acts of 1903; as amended.

This bill proposes to rewrite the city charter for Tullahoma, Tennessee, subject to local approval by the city's voters. It directly affects the city's governance structure by establishing a Board of Mayor and Aldermen consisting of the mayor and six elected members, while also mandating that the city be managed by a City Administrator. The legislation reaffirms the city's existing boundaries and grants the new governing body the authority to manage municipal affairs and property. By replacing the previous legal framework, the bill aims to modernize the rules that guide how the city is run and how its officials are selected.
