Bill > SB0655

This bill amends Tennessee law to allow a district attorney general to specially appoint another district attorney general or an assistant from a different judicial district to conduct specific proceedings related to the removal of officers, provided that the district attorney general from the other district consents. The bill expands the existing legal framework by creating a new provision that enables cross-district cooperation in officer removal proceedings under Title 8, Chapter 47 of Tennessee Code Annotated. This change provides flexibility for district attorneys to seek assistance or representation from colleagues in other judicial districts when handling officer removal cases, potentially helping to address situations where conflicts of interest or resource limitations might otherwise impede such proceedings. The law takes effect immediately upon becoming official, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
