County Government - As introduced, prohibits an employee of a local government from serving on the legislative body of the local government for which the employee works. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 12 and Title 49.

HB 2319 prohibits county government employees from serving on their own county legislative bodies (like county commissions). It directly affects current and future county employees who would otherwise be eligible to serve on local governing boards. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 5-5-102, to disqualify such employees, with a temporary exception allowing those already serving to complete their current terms. This change applies to all county-level local governments across Tennessee.
