SB 2693 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Millington - Subject to local approval, requires a candidate for the office of mayor to be a resident of the City of Millington for one year preceding the election rather than 60 days to qualify to run for such office. - Amends Chapter 238 of the Acts of 1903; as amended and rewritten.

SB 2693 would change Millington, Tennessee’s mayoral residency requirement from 60 days to one full year before an election. This affects candidates running for mayor in Millington by requiring them to have lived in the city continuously for at least one year prior to the election. The bill amends Chapter 238 of Millington’s charter to replace the current 60-day residency standard with the one-year requirement. It requires approval by Millington’s local legislative body before taking effect.
