Bill > SB2703

This bill, concerning the office of County Attorney for Hamblen County, updates how this position is handled by amending existing laws from 1949 and 1968. Specifically, it establishes that the County Attorney will be elected annually by the Hamblen County Commission at their September meeting. The bill also outlines the compensation for the County Attorney, setting an annual retainer fee of $1200, paid in monthly installments from county funds, and allows for additional reasonable compensation and reimbursement for actual expenses incurred for legal services performed on behalf of the County. These additional payments and reimbursements are subject to review by the County Legislative Body and must follow standard county financial policies, with expense claims needing to be itemized and certified by the County Attorney. Importantly, this act will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Hamblen County legislative body, with its approval or rejection being officially proclaimed and certified.
