County Government - As introduced, requires the offices of sheriff, register, county clerk, assessor of property, and trustee in a county that has adopted a charter form of government to independently develop the budget for such office and submit the budget directly to the county legislative body; authorizes such offices to approve transfers between line items within the total amount of each category of personnel and operational maintenance; prohibits the county legislative body from implementing any kind of personnel restriction or operational maintenance restrictions on these offices. - Amends TCA Title 5.

HB 306 requires sheriff, register, county clerk, assessor of property, and trustee offices in Tennessee counties with charter government to independently create and submit their budgets directly to the county legislative body. These offices would gain authority to approve internal budget transfers between personnel and operational-maintenance categories without county approval, while prohibiting the county body from imposing personnel or operational restrictions on them. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 5 to establish these budget autonomy rules. It does not affect counties without charter government or other county offices.
