House Bill 337 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to enhance the responsibilities of county and city attorneys. Specifically, it introduces new provisions that require county attorneys to consult with and advise elected county officials, their deputies, and employees regarding the application and enforcement of relevant federal and state laws. This addition aims to ensure that local government officials are properly informed and supported in their legal obligations.

Similarly, the bill establishes a corresponding requirement for city attorneys, mandating them to provide consultation and advice to elected city officials and their staff on the same legal matters. These amendments are intended to strengthen the legal framework within which local governments operate, ensuring that officials are equipped with the necessary legal guidance to fulfill their duties effectively. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
