Bedford County replaces road board with superintendent

The law replaces Bedford County’s old road board rules with a superintendent-led highway department. These changes require approval by two-thirds of the county legislative body, with the decision certified to Tennessee’s Secretary of State. The board keeps working until its members’ current terms expire, then ends. The current superintendent also stays through the end of their term. Beginning in August 2028, qualified Bedford County voters elect the superintendent every four years by majority vote. Candidates need at least five years of full-time highway or bridge construction experience, good moral character, and qualifications under general law. The superintendent heads the highway department, which builds and maintains county roads under Tennessee’s County Uniform Highway Law. General law sets the superintendent’s salary; this act adds no new taxes, fees, or dedicated funding.
