Public Officials - As introduced, prohibits a public facility from being named for a local public official who is in office, for two years after the public official leaves office, or if the public official has been convicted of a felony or a crime of moral turpitude; prohibits a local public official from making charitable donations in the public official's name if the donation is from public funds. - Amends TCA Title 3; Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 9 and Title 12.

HB 434 prohibits naming public facilities (like parks or buildings) after current or recently departed local public officials for two years after they leave office, unless private funds cover the naming costs. It also bans using public funds for charitable donations made "in the name of" an official, requiring such donations to be attributed to the public entity instead. The bill further prohibits naming facilities for officials convicted of felonies or crimes of moral turpitude. These rules apply to local governments and elected or appointed officials covered under Tennessee law. The bill includes exceptions for facilities named before an official took office or for deceased/veteran officials.
