Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 6.
Tennessee HB0096 amends the criteria under which the attorney general can investigate and initiate criminal prosecutions against judges, chancellors, judicial elected officials, or district attorneys general. The bill allows the attorney general to proceed with such actions if there is probable cause to believe a state criminal law has been violated and if either a conflict of interest exists for the local district attorney general or a report of a violation of the prohibition against direct supervision of relatives is received. This change broadens the circumstances under which the attorney general can take action against these officials.
