Bill > HB0071

This bill amends Tennessee law to allow assistant district attorneys to receive year-for-year service credit for prior law enforcement experience, subject to specific conditions. Under the proposed legislation, an assistant district attorney can obtain this service credit if recommended by their hiring district attorney general and approved by the executive director of the Tennessee district attorneys general conference. The bill defines "prior law enforcement experience" as full-time employment with a law enforcement agency as a POST-certified law enforcement officer, where POST stands for "Peace Officer Standards and Training." To establish the law enforcement experience, an employment record from the relevant law enforcement agency must be used. The bill is designed to recognize and value the professional experience of law enforcement officers who transition into assistant district attorney roles, potentially providing them with additional retirement or service-related benefits. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
