Bill Summary: SB 2733 (Session 114, Tennessee) – Gleason Mayor and Alderman Compensation

Overview

  • Jurisdiction: City of Gleason, Tennessee
  • Bill Number: SB 2733 (Senate) / HB 2670 (House)
  • Subject: Changes to the compensation for the City of Gleason’s mayor and aldermen
  • Term/Effective Timing: Increases take effect for the term beginning December 2028, subject to local approval
  • Approval Threshold: Must be approved by a two-thirds vote of Gleason’s legislative body; effective only upon such approval and certification

Purpose and Intent

  • To increase the monthly compensation for Gleason’s elected city officials (mayor and aldermen) starting December 2028.
  • The change is enacted through amendment to Chapter 33 of the Private Acts of 1985 (as amended).

Key Provisions

Section 1 – Compensation Increases

  • Current law (as amended): For the term beginning in August 2004, mayor compensation is $200 per month; each alderman $100 per month.
  • New provision (effective December 2028):
    • Mayor compensation: $400 per month.
    • Each alderman compensation: $200 per month.
  • Scope: Applies to the term beginning December 2028; appears to replace the prior amounts with new figures.

Section 2 – Local Approval Requirement

  • The act only takes effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of Gleason’s legislative body.
  • The presiding officer must proclaim the approval or rejection, and certify to the Tennessee Secretary of State.
  • If not approved, the act has no effect on compensation.

Section 3 – Effective Date Provisions

  • The act becomes effective as a law upon the stated local approval (Section 2) and, for all other purposes, when it becomes law.

Who Is Affected

  • Elected Officials: Mayor and aldermen of the City of Gleason.
  • Gleason Legislative Body: Must approve the measure by a two-thirds vote for the changes to take effect.
  • Residents/Taxpayers: Indirectly affected through changes to city compensation decisions, which are funded from city resources (budget considerations would be impacted accordingly).

Procedural and Timeline Considerations

  • Local Action Required: Two-thirds vote of Gleason’s legislative body.
  • Effective Timing: If approved, the new compensation amounts apply to the term beginning December 2028.
  • Certification: Approval must be proclaimed and certified to the Secretary of State.

Notes

  • The bill explicitly preserves that it has no effect unless the local two-thirds approval is obtained, ensuring local control over whether the salary adjustments occur.
  • The bill does not specify funding sources or budgetary impact beyond the stated compensation changes; fiscal effects would depend on the city’s budget and funding authorization.
