Summary
The bill requires every newly elected county legislative body in Tennessee to adopt written local rules of procedure within 90 days by a majority vote. Any later amendment to those rules must be approved by a two‑thirds majority, and if a situation isn’t covered, the latest edition of Robert’s Rules of Order applies. This creates a uniform, transparent process for county meetings.
