Public Officials - As introduced, creates a recall process for members of a municipal legislative body and of a city or county school board. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8 and Title 49.
HB 384 creates a recall process for city council members and school board officials in Tennessee. It requires petitions signed by at least 20% of registered voters in the official’s district to initiate a recall, with allowed reasons including misconduct, felony convictions, or lack of confidence. The bill specifies that petitions must be filed with election officials, prohibits duplicate or false signatures, and prevents recalls within two years of a prior election. This process applies to municipal legislative bodies and school boards, adding a new mechanism for voter removal beyond existing methods.
