House Bill 56 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 be executed with a two-thirds (2/3) vote from the legislative body, regardless of any existing charter, resolution, or law that may contradict this authority. However, it is important to note that this provision does not apply to individuals appointed to fill vacancies in the general assembly.

The bill emphasizes the legislative body's power to manage its appointments more effectively, ensuring that they can remove appointees if necessary. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency and the importance of maintaining accountability within county governance.
