Tennessee HB0808 allows counties experiencing economic distress to forgo salary increases for officials until conditions improve.
Tennessee HB0808 amends the compensation rules for county officials, allowing counties facing economic distress to opt out of salary increases. This applies if the Department of Economic and Community Development identifies major employment loss, high unemployment, or low family income in the county. The minimum compensation for officials in such counties will revert to previous levels once economic conditions improve or new officials are elected. The department must assess economic distress annually by July 1 using state and federal data.
