Tennessee HB1829 amends state laws to change disqualification criteria for public office due to felony convictions.
Tennessee HB1829 amends several sections of Tennessee Code Annotated to modify the criteria for disqualification from holding public office due to felony convictions. Specifically, it removes the requirement that the disqualifying offense must arise out of the person's employment or official capacity and constitute malfeasance in office. Instead, it introduces new criteria, disqualifying individuals convicted of offering or giving a bribe or any other offense declared infamous under Tennessee law, unless their citizenship was restored under specific conditions.
