Public Officials - As introduced, authorizes local governments to adopt a process by which local elected officials may be removed from office in a recall election. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 8, Chapter 47 and Title 49, Chapter 2.

SB 387 allows Tennessee local governments to establish a formal process for voters to remove elected officials through recall elections. It requires petition signatures from at least 66% of voters who supported the official in the last election, with specific verification steps including a sworn affidavit. If approved, a recall election requires 66% "for recall" votes to remove the official, with no recall votes allowed within 90 days of regular elections. This applies to mayors, school board members, sheriffs, and other local officials, but only if the local legislative body adopts the process by a two-thirds vote. The bill does not automatically create recalls but provides the legal framework for communities to implement them.
