Judges and Chancellors - As enacted, requires a judge who enters into a deferred discipline agreement regarding a matter before the board of judicial conduct to sign an affidavit stating that the judge consents to the recommendation of the investigative panel, the consent is freely and voluntarily rendered, there is a pending proceeding involving allegations of misconduct, which must be specifically set forth in the affidavit, and the facts set forth in the affidavit are true; requires the affidavit to be filed with the board upon its approval by a hearing panel. - Amends TCA Title 16 and Title 17.
This bill requires judges in Tennessee who agree to a deferred discipline agreement to sign a sworn statement confirming their consent is voluntary and truthful. The affidavit must specifically list any pending misconduct allegations and be filed with the judicial conduct board after approval. This change aims to create a formal record of the judge's agreement to the disciplinary process.
