Private Acts of 1975 Chapter 181

SECTION 1.  Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 54-1015 is amended by adding the following provision at the end of that section:

Provided, however, that in counties having a population of not less than 17,330 and not more than 18,000 according to the 1970 or any subsequent federal census, the county governing body or the chief administrative officer shall have the authority to permit the sale of crushed rock, stone, or gravel to churches and cemeteries located within that county for the purpose of constructing or repairing roads in that county.  Such sales may also be authorized to landowners for use in constructing or repairing driveway connections with roads maintained in the county.

COMPILER'S NOTE:  Section 54-1015 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, referenced in Private Acts of 1975, Chapter 181, is now codified as T.C.A. § 54-7-202.  This general law prohibits selling or giving away county highway equipment, rock, crushed stone, or other materials to private persons or entities.

SECTION 2.  If any provision of this Act or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Act which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to that end the provisions of this Act are declared to be severable.

SECTION 3.  This Act shall have no effect unless it is approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Quarterly County Court of any county to which it may apply.  Its approval or non-approval shall be proclaimed by the presiding officer of the Quarterly County Court and certified by him to the Secretary of the State. 

SECTION 4.  For the purpose of approving or rejecting the provisions of this Act, as provided in Section 3, it shall be effective upon becoming a law.  For all other purposes it shall become effective upon being approved as provided in Section 3.
