Tennessee HB1931 prohibits county legislative bodies in counties with a charter form of government from adopting a budget that reduces the sheriff's budget below the previous fiscal year's amount without the sheriff's written approval. The bill allows sheriffs to approve or disapprove budget amendments that would lower personnel, operational, or capital expenditures, but permits the county legislative body to override a sheriff's disapproval with a two-thirds vote. This legislation specifically affects the budgeting authority of county legislative bodies and the operational funding of sheriff's departments.
