SB2043 amends Tennessee Code to restrict county legislative bodies from reducing sheriff budgets without approval.
SB2043 amends Tennessee Code to ensure county legislative bodies cannot reduce sheriff budgets below the previous fiscal year's level for personnel salaries, benefits, or operational expenditures without the sheriff's written consent. The bill also mandates that any budget amendments reducing sheriff's office expenditures must be approved by the sheriff or, if disapproved, by a two-thirds vote of the entire county legislative body. If any part of the act is found invalid, the rest remains in effect. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
