Tennessee HB1448 amends state code to establish a recall process for local elected officials.
Tennessee HB1448 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to introduce a recall process for local elected officials. This process allows registered voters to petition for the removal of local officials, including members of local legislative bodies, mayors, sheriffs, and school board members. The petition must be signed by a number of voters equal to at least 66% of the votes cast for the official in the last election. The county election commission reviews the petition and, if deemed sufficient, must call a recall election.
