Tennessee lawmakers propose bill to let voters recall local officials like mayors and sheriffs.
Memphis Representative Torrey C. Harris has introduced HB 1448, a bill that would allow Tennessee voters to initiate recall elections for local officials like mayors, county commissioners, sheriffs, and school board members.
The proposal aims to address gaps in current law that prevent local governments from establishing recall processes, particularly in Shelby County where recent efforts to remove officials have been blocked by courts.
The bill, set for formal introduction in January, reflects growing demand for greater accountability and transparency in local governance, though specific procedural details like petition thresholds remain unspecified.
