TN HB1448

Establishes a recall process for local officials including mayors, sheriffs, trustees, registers, clerks, property assessors, school board members, and local legislative body members

Requires recall petitions to be signed by registered voters equal to at least 66% of the total votes cast for that office in the last regular election, with all signatures collected within 90 days

Petition circulators must have voted for the official they seek to recall and submit a sworn affidavit verifying signature authenticity

County election commissions have 15 days to verify petition sufficiency; if approved, a recall election is held where a simple majority vote removes the official from office

Recall elections cannot occur within 90 days before or after a regular election, and removed officials cannot be reappointed to fill the resulting vacancy
