General Assembly, Statement of Intent or Position - Authorizes the Speaker of the House of Representatives to appoint a committee to meet with a like committee from the Senate to consider the removal of Steven J. Mulroy from the office of District Attorney General for the Thirtieth Judicial District by the Tennessee General Assembly acting pursuant to Article VI, Section 6 of the Constitution of Tennessee. -

HJR 176 is a procedural resolution establishing a joint committee to investigate the potential removal of Steven J. Mulroy, the District Attorney General for Tennessee's Thirtieth Judicial District. The bill authorizes the House and Senate Speakers to appoint five members each to form a committee that will review alleged misconduct (including ethical violations and mismanagement) and determine if due process hearings are warranted. If hearings proceed, the committee would recommend removal to the full General Assembly, which would then vote separately on each cause requiring a two-thirds majority. This resolution outlines the procedural steps for removal under Tennessee Constitution Article VI, Section 6, but does not address the merits of the allegations.
