SB 2700 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Greenbrier - Subject to local approval, increases salary of aldermen from $120 per month to $300 per month, with no such increase to apply to an incumbent prior to the end of the term for which the elected official was selected; establishes purchasing limits in accordance with state law rather than by specific amounts in charter. - Amends Chapter 207 of the Private Acts of 1996; as amended and rewritten.

SB 2700 increases the monthly salary for Greenbrier city aldermen from $120 to $300, effective after the current term ends for sitting officials. It replaces specific purchasing limits in Greenbrier's charter with requirements to follow state law, streamlining procurement rules. The bill requires a two-thirds vote approval by Greenbrier's city council to take effect. This change directly affects Greenbrier's local government operations and the compensation of its elected city council members.
