Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 6.
Tennessee SB0019 amends the criteria under which the attorney general can investigate and initiate criminal prosecution against judges, chancellors, judicial elected officials, or district attorneys general. The bill allows the attorney general to proceed with an investigation if there is probable cause of a state criminal law violation and if either a conflict of interest exists for the local district attorney general or if there is a report of a violation regarding the supervision of relatives. This change broadens the circumstances under which the attorney general can take action against judicial officials.
