Tennessee § 8-24-113 - Private acts fixing salary of county mayor unaffected.

§ 8-24-113. Private acts fixing salary of county mayor unaffected.

Sections 8-24-102 , this section and 8-24-114 shall not be construed to repeal or modify in any way any private act of the state fixing any salary of any county mayor in an amount greater than the minimum salaries set out in § 8-24-102 . In determining whether the salary of any such county mayor has been fixed by private act in an amount in excess of the minimum salary set out in § 8-24-102, the entire salary provided for by such private act shall be included, regardless of whether such salary is paid by the county, the state of Tennessee, or both. Acts 1957, ch. 172, § 2; impl. am. Acts 1978, ch. 934, §§ 16, 36; T.C.A., § 8-2415; Acts 2003, ch. 90, § 2. Compiler's Notes. According to the information procured from the County Technical Assistance Service (CTAS) website, compensation for most county officials is governed by T.C.A. § 8-24-102 , which establishes the minimum compensation for county officials. This law provides for an automatic increase in the minimum salary each year based on the percentage increase given to state employees for the previous fiscal year. It requires the commissioner of finance and administration to certify to the comptroller of the treasury the average annualized increase in state employees’ compensation on or before May 1 of each year. Because no state employee increases were appropriated for fiscal year 2010, the commissioner certified on February 12, 2010, that state employees received an average increase of 0% for the fiscal year 2009-2010, and as a result, salary schedules for most county officials will not change. Acts 2003, ch. 90, § 2, directed the code commission to change all references from “county executive” to “county mayor” and to include all such changes in supplements and replacement volumes for the Tennessee Code Annotated. Former § 8-24-112 , referred to in this section was repealed by Acts 1996, ch. 936, § 4, effective July 1, 1996.
