Longer terms for Tullahoma's city judge

The law extends the qualifying Tullahoma city judge's term from August 2025 to the first Thursday in August 2026. The judge must hold office when the act takes effect and have been elected under Tennessee Code Annotated § 16-18-203. Starting in 2026, qualified municipal voters elect the judge citywide for eight years, with elections every eight years afterward. These elections fall on the first Thursday in August, alongside elections for the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The judge must be a practicing attorney in good standing, admitted to practice in Tennessee. The judge must have lived in Tullahoma and maintained a permanent home there for one year before the election. State law § 2-2-122 governs residency decisions. The Board of Mayor and Aldermen sets the judge's pay by ordinance; city code and ordinances govern the judge's duties and powers. These changes take effect only upon approval by two-thirds of Tullahoma's legislative body. Its presiding officer must announce approval or rejection and certify it to the secretary of state.
