Summary
The bill eliminates a 2007 private act that changed Roane County’s chief executive title to “County Executive” and returns it to “County Mayor.” It only takes effect if two‑thirds of the county’s legislative body approve it, and the decision is reported to the secretary of state. This aligns Roane County’s title with the state’s general law and reduces confusion when working with other counties.
