District Attorneys - As introduced, allows an assistant district attorney general to receive year-for-year service credit for prior law enforcement experience upon recommendation of the hiring district attorney general and subject to the approval of the executive director of the district attorneys general conference; defines prior law enforcement experience as full-time employment with a law enforcement agency as a POST-certified law enforcement officer; requires an employment record from the law enforcement agency to be used to establish the law enforcement experience. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 7.

SB 812 allows assistant district attorneys in Tennessee to receive year-for-year service credit for prior full-time law enforcement experience as a POST-certified officer. This applies only if their hiring district attorney recommends the credit and the executive director of the Tennessee district attorneys conference approves it. The bill requires applicants to provide an employment record from their previous law enforcement agency to verify eligibility. It directly affects assistant district attorneys with qualifying law enforcement backgrounds by potentially accelerating their service-based seniority under Tennessee law.
