Terms Used In Tennessee Code 6-36-104

  • Board: means the mayor and the aldermen. See Tennessee Code 6-1-101
  • Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.
(b) The chair shall preside at the meetings of the board and may vote as any other member but shall have no power of veto. The chair shall perform the duties imposed upon the chair by the rules of the board.
(c) The vice chair shall perform the duties of the chair in case of the chair’s absence or inability to act.
(d) In the event of a permanent vacancy in the office of chair, a new chair shall be elected.
