Maddy summaryHB 2639 allows Henry County, Tennessee, to impose a severance tax on the extraction of clay, titanium, and other untaxed minerals within its borders. This tax directly affects mineral extraction companies and landowners operating mines in Henry County. The bill sets the tax rate to match Tennessee’s maximum per-ton mineral tax rate (under §67-7-203), with automatic adjustments if state law changes, and requires all collected revenue (minus administrative costs) to fund only county road construction, maintenance, and repairs. The tax becomes effective only if Henry County’s legislative body approves it with a two-thirds vote.

It clarifies that the current highway superintendent continues in office until the next election and mandates that the bill requires a two-thirds approval vote from Weakley County’s legislative body to take effect. This is a county-specific private act affecting only Weakley County’s highway governance structure.

Maddy summaryHB 2645 replaces the City of Martin, Tennessee's existing charter (Chapter 158 of the Private Acts of 1992) with a new governing document. The bill establishes Martin as a city with perpetual succession, divides it into three wards for electing aldermen, and sets up a nonpartisan election process for mayor and aldermen every two years. It grants the city broad authority to enact ordinances, levy taxes, regulate public safety (like fire codes and noise), manage infrastructure (water, sewer, gas), and handle waste disposal. The charter also requires ward boundaries to comply with "one person, one vote" principles and be reviewed every decade using U.S. Census data.

These changes affect the state comptroller's office and the General Assembly, streamlining certain reporting obligations.
