Amends TCA Title 2; Title 8, Chapter 47 and Title 49, Chapter 2.
Tennessee HB0092 amends existing law to allow registered voters in a jurisdiction to remove local officials, including school board members, mayors, and sheriffs, through a recall election. The bill establishes a petition process requiring signatures from at least 66% of the total votes cast for the official in the last election, includes provisions for petition sufficiency determinations, and mandates a recall election if the petition is deemed sufficient. Notably, the bill does not apply to innovative school districts and requires a two-thirds vote from the local legislative body for its applicability.
