Martin - Subject to local approval, rewrites the city charter. - Amends Chapter 158 of the Private Acts of 1992; as amended.

HB 2645 replaces the City of Martin, Tennessee's existing charter (Chapter 158 of the Private Acts of 1992) with a new governing document. The bill establishes Martin as a city with perpetual succession, divides it into three wards for electing aldermen, and sets up a nonpartisan election process for mayor and aldermen every two years. It grants the city broad authority to enact ordinances, levy taxes, regulate public safety (like fire codes and noise), manage infrastructure (water, sewer, gas), and handle waste disposal. The charter also requires ward boundaries to comply with "one person, one vote" principles and be reviewed every decade using U.S. Census data.
