Tennessee Code Annotated is amended in each of its provisions providing the judicial powers, duties, functions or jurisdiction of the justice of the peace to delete references to "justice of the peace" or any variation of those words and to substitute instead references to the "court of general sessions" or "judge of the court of general sessions" or a variation of those words.
