SB 1443 amends local law for the Town of Mason, Tennessee, shifting certain duties from the mayor to an appointed town administrator. The bill requires the town board to appoint an administrator who will manage day-to-day operations, recommend service improvements, oversee employees, and handle property maintenance - tasks previously performed by the mayor. It also clarifies that ordinances no longer require the mayor’s signature to take effect and specifies that the mayor retains voting rights as a board member. The bill requires Mason’s legislative body to approve it by a two-thirds vote before taking effect. This is a procedural change to local government structure, directly affecting Mason’s town administration and governance process.
