House Bill 56, sponsored by Lamberth, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 5, by introducing a new provision that allows county legislative bodies to recall individuals they have appointed to positions. This recall can occur with a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the legislative body, regardless of any existing charter, resolution, or law that may contradict this ability. However, it is important to note that this provision does not apply to individuals appointed to fill vacancies in the general assembly.

The bill aims to enhance the accountability of appointed officials within county legislative bodies by providing a clear mechanism for their recall. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for the public welfare.
