HB 2635 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Stanton - Subject to local approval, revises the general powers of the town; revises provisions related to the town judge. - Amends Chapter 142 of the Private Acts of 1990.

HB 2635 amends the Town of Stanton's charter (Chapter 142 of the Private Acts of 1990) by revising its general powers. The bill replaces Section 5 with updated provisions allowing the town to tax, borrow money, issue bonds (including those backed by public utility income), and grant exclusive franchises for public utilities for up to 25 years. These changes directly affect Stanton's local government, clarifying how it can finance projects, manage utilities, and regulate service providers within its corporate limits. The bill does not alter how the town judge operates, as the title's mention of the town judge is not detailed in the provided text.
