SB 1427 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Bedford County - Subject to local approval, abolishes the Bedford County road board. - Repeals Chapter 30 of the Private Acts of 1975 and Chapter 39 of the Private Acts of 1989.

This bill would repeal two old state laws (from 1975 and 1989) that created Bedford County's road board, effectively abolishing that local government body. It directly affects Bedford County, as the county's legislative body must first approve the bill with a two-thirds vote before it can take effect. The key mechanism requires local approval through the county's legislative process, with the approval certified to the state. If approved, the road board would be eliminated, shifting road governance responsibilities to Bedford County's current structure. The bill is procedural and does not create new policies or funding.
