SB 2269 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

County Government - As introduced, increases from 48 to 72 hours, the time within which the county legislative body must convene after the filing of an application by the county mayor for such convening based on the public necessity requiring it in the mayor's opinion. - Amends TCA Title 5 and Title 6.

SB 2269 amends Tennessee law to extend the time for county legislative bodies to hold a meeting after a county mayor requests one due to public necessity, increasing the deadline from 48 to 72 hours. This directly affects county mayors and county legislative bodies (such as county commissions) across Tennessee by providing an additional 24 hours to prepare for required meetings. The bill updates Tennessee Code Annotated, Sections 5-5-105(a)(3), without changing the requirement that meetings must occur when the mayor deems public necessity requires them. The change takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
