HB 1432 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Bartlett - Subject to local approval, establishes that the offices of mayor and Alderman are limited to a maximum of three four-year terms; makes other changes to the charter regarding elections, the mayor, and administration. - Amends Chapter 55 of the Private Acts of 1993; as amended.

HB 1432 modifies Bartlett, Tennessee’s city charter to limit the mayor and each of the six alderman positions to a maximum of three four-year terms (12 years total). It directly affects current and future mayors and aldermen in Bartlett by restricting re-election opportunities. Key provisions include requiring resignations for officials running for another city office, establishing staggered elections for aldermanic positions, and updating personnel rules to prohibit discrimination based on protected characteristics. Incumbents serving at the time of the law’s effective date may complete their current terms, and the bill requires local approval by Bartlett’s legislative body before taking effect.
