County Government - As introduced, requires the offices of sheriff, register, county clerk, assessor of property, and trustee in a county that has adopted a charter form of government to independently develop the budget for such office and submit the budget directly to the county legislative body; authorizes such offices to approve transfers between line items within the total amount of each category of personnel and operational maintenance; prohibits the county legislative body from implementing any kind of personnel restriction or operational maintenance restrictions on these offices. - Amends TCA Title 5.

SB 275 requires certain county offices (sheriff, register, county clerk, assessor, and trustee) in Tennessee counties with charter government to independently develop and submit their own budgets directly to the county legislative body, rather than having budgets managed through the county government. The bill allows these offices to approve internal budget transfers between personnel and operational-maintenance categories without approval, while prohibiting the county legislative body from imposing personnel or operational restrictions on these offices. This change shifts budget authority directly to the county offices, altering how they manage financial planning within their designated budget categories under Tennessee Code Annotated Title 5.
