SB 245 expands the circumstances under which a temporary district attorney (pro tem) can be appointed to include specific civil cases, such as property disputes and cemetery regulations, beyond just criminal matters. It requires most meetings of Tennessee's District Attorneys General Conference to be open to the public, with limited exceptions for confidential topics like ongoing litigation or audits. The bill also mandates that the conference's executive director provide legal counsel to district attorneys and their staff, with this advice protected as confidential and exempt from public records laws. These changes affect district attorneys, their staff, and the transparency of their conference operations.
