HB 1424 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Gallatin - Subject to local approval, removes charter provision restricting appointed officers from being employed outside of city business hours. - Amends Chapter 67 of the Private Acts of 1953; as amended.

HB 1424 removes a requirement in Gallatin's city charter that forced most appointed city officers (except the city attorney) to devote all their time to city duties. This change allows those officers to work outside regular city business hours without violating the charter. The amendment requires approval by Gallatin's city council with a two-thirds vote before taking effect, as specified in Section 2 of the bill.
