Tennessee SB0387 amends laws to allow recall of local officials by voters.

Tennessee SB0387 amends Tennessee Code to allow the recall of local officials by registered voters. Local officials, including members of legislative bodies, mayors, sheriffs, and school board members, can be recalled if the local legislative body adopts this process. A recall petition must be signed by at least 66% of the voters who supported the official in the last election. If the petition is deemed sufficient, a recall election is held. If 66% or more of the voters vote "for recall," the official is removed from office.
