HB 2122 changes how Hamblen County, Tennessee, handles its county attorney position. It moves the election from July to September (held at the county commission's September meeting) and shifts responsibility for reviewing the attorney's compensation and expense reimbursements from the finance committee to the full county legislative body. The bill also requires a two-thirds vote by Hamblen County's legislative body to approve these changes. The county attorney will continue to receive a $1,200 annual retainer, with additional pay for legal services subject to review by the legislative body. This is a procedural update to local election and compensation rules for Hamblen County.
