SB 2614 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

County Government - As enacted, authorizes a county legislative body operating under the County Purchasing Law of 1957 to set the compensation for the director of accounts and budgets. - Amends TCA Title 5 and Title 8.

SB 2614 would allow Tennessee county legislative bodies to set the salary for the director of accounts and budgets in counties operating under the County Purchasing Law of 1957. The bill amends state law to explicitly permit county legislative bodies to establish this compensation level, overriding any conflicting existing provisions. This change directly affects county governments using the County Purchasing Law and the specific county employees holding the director of accounts and budgets position. The bill does not apply to counties not operating under this purchasing law.
