Tennessee HB0092 establishes a process for recalling locally elected officials.
Tennessee HB0092 amends state law to allow for the recall of local officials, including members of legislative bodies, mayors, sheriffs, trustees, registers, clerks, assessors, and school board members. The process requires a petition signed by at least 66% of the voters who voted for the official in the last election. If the petition is deemed sufficient, a recall election is held, and if 66% or more of the voters vote "for recall," the official is removed from office. The recall election cannot occur within 90 days before or after a regular election.
