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 the Bolivar Energy Authority fills empty seats on its Board of Directors. Instead of the mayor making these appointments, the existing board members will select new directors, who must then be approved by the city council. The bill also sets specific time limits for filling vacancies and requires a two-thirds vote from the city council to officially approve the law. If the city council does not give this final approval, the changes will not take effect.
