Athens - Subject to local approval, sets compensation of mayor and council members by ordinance rather than specific dollar amounts; does not alter compensation amounts of current mayor or council members. - Amends Chapter 455 of the Private Acts of 1953; as amended.

Summary

The bill changes Tennessee law so the City of Athens can determine the pay for its mayor and council members through a local ordinance rather than a specific dollar figure set by the state. It does not alter the current salaries of any incumbent officials, and any new compensation can only apply to future terms. The change only takes effect if approved by a two‑thirds vote of the Athens legislative body.
