Hamblen voters elect a road superintendent
With the required two-thirds county legislative approval, qualified Hamblen County voters elect a road superintendent in August 2028 and every four years afterward. Each four-year term starts September 1 after the election. Qualifications, salary, powers, and duties follow Tennessee’s County Uniform Highway Law. Beginning September 1, 2028, the superintendent may also oversee sanitation, with extra pay requiring county legislative approval. Highway department purchases follow the County Uniform Highway Law and other purchasing laws that apply to Hamblen County.
Hamblen County road commission ends in 2028
The law requires two-thirds approval from Hamblen County’s legislative body before these changes take effect. It ends the Road Commission and repeals the county’s special highway laws on August 31, 2028. Until then, vacancies remain unfilled for the rest of their terms, but current members’ terms are not shortened. The county legislative body sets members’ pay, which comes from the county highway fund. Members choose a chairman from among themselves, and a majority is required to conduct business.
