SB 46 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Celina - Subject to local approval, increases the number of aldermen from three to five. - Amends Chapter 90 of the Private Acts of 1991; as amended.

SB 46 amends Celina's city charter to increase the number of aldermen (city council members) from three to five. The bill changes the election date for the first expanded council to June 2025, adjusts the voting requirement from two members to a majority vote for passing ordinances, and requires local approval by Celina's legislative body with a two-thirds vote. This directly affects Celina's governance structure by expanding its city council size and altering voting procedures. The bill becomes effective only after local approval and upon becoming law, as specified in Section 4.
