SB 655 - HB 1010
SUMMARY OF BILL: Authorizes the District Attorney General (DAG) to specially
appoint another DAG or an Assistant District Attorney General (ADAG) to conduct proceedings
related to the removal of officers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 8-47-102, the Attorney General and Reporter (AG) has the
power, on the AG’s own initiative, and without any complaint having been made to the AG
or request made of the AG, to institute proceedings in ouster against any and all state,
county, and municipal officers, under this chapter, and the DAG, county attorneys, and city
attorneys, within their respective jurisdictions, may institute such actions, without complaint
being made to them or request made of them, as they are authorized to institute upon
request made of them or complaint made to them.
• The proposed legislation authorizes the DAG to specially appoint another DAG or an
ADAG to conduct proceedings related to the removal of officers.
• Authorizing a DAG to specially appoint a DAG in another district to conduct certain
proceedings will not result in any significant fiscal impact to state or local government
expenditures.
• Any fiscal impact to state or local government is estimated to be not significant.
