County Government - As enacted, authorizes a county that has adopted the County Sheriff's Civil Service Act of 1974 to rescind such adoption by a two-thirds vote of the county legislative body. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 8, Part 4.

SB 532 amends Tennessee law to allow counties that have adopted the County Sheriff's Civil Service Act of 1974 to rescind that adoption. Specifically, it permits a county legislative body to end this adoption with a two-thirds vote, rather than requiring the previous process. This directly affects counties that previously implemented the 1974 civil service law for sheriff's offices. The bill, effective April 24, 2025, modifies TCA Title 8, Chapter 8, Part 4, without changing the underlying civil service framework. It provides counties with a new procedural option to opt out of the sheriff's civil service system.
