AI Summary
This bill amends the County Sheriff's Civil Service Law of 1974 to allow counties that have previously adopted the law to rescind their adoption through a specific procedure. Specifically, the bill adds a new subsection to the existing law that permits a county to withdraw from the Sheriff's Civil Service Act by obtaining a two-thirds vote from its county legislative body. The County Sheriff's Civil Service Law of 1974 is a Tennessee statute that establishes civil service protections and hiring procedures for county sheriff's departments, and this amendment provides counties with more flexibility to opt out of the system if they choose. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, giving counties an immediate option to reconsider their participation in the civil service system for their sheriff's departments.
