As enacted, authorizes a district attorney general, on the consent of the district attorney general of any other judicial district, to specially appoint another district attorney general, or an assistant to that district attorney general, to conduct specific proceedings under title 8, chapter 47, regarding removal of officers, which the district attorney general is authorized by law to conduct in that district. - Amends TCA Title 8.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to allow a district attorney general to, with the consent of another district attorney general in a different judicial district, specially appoint that other district attorney general or an assistant from their office to handle specific legal proceedings related to the removal of officers under Title 8, Chapter 47. In practical terms, this provides more flexibility for district attorneys by allowing them to collaborate and temporarily assign prosecution duties for officer removal cases across judicial district boundaries. The amendment essentially creates a mechanism for inter-district cooperation in legal proceedings involving potential officer removals, enabling districts to leverage each other's legal resources when needed. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2 of the document.
