SB0111112th GA (Historical)Introduced

Amends TCA Title 3; Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 9 and Title 12.

This bill generally prohibits: (1) Naming or designating a public facility for an individual public official during the public official's term of office or during the two-year period immediately following the public official's departure from office unless private funds are used to cover the costs of naming or designating the public facility; (2) Public officials from making charitable donations in their name if the public official is using public funds. Such donations must be attributed to the public entity from which the funds originated; and (3) Naming a public facility for any person or public official who has been convicted of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude. For purposes of this bill, a "public official" is a person elected to state or local public office or any person appointed or employed by this state. The two-year limitation for naming or designating a public facility in (1) does not apply if the public official is deceased or an honorably discharged veteran of the United States armed forces. A public facility that was named for a person who was not a public official at the time of the naming may continue to bear that name if the person subsequently becomes a public official. A public facility named for a public official prior to the date that this bill becomes a law may continue to bear the name of that public official.
