The bill targets Shelby County only for unprecedented, intrusive oversight of a locally elected DA by an unelected attorney general, without providing any basis for treating Shelby County differently. It singles out federal task force cases for special treatment, even though Tennessee law provides no basis for treating those cases any differently than the many cases brought independently by local law enforcement. The provision allowing the attorney general to seek a temporary replacement of a DA largely repeats language already in Tennessee law and is therefore unnecessary; to the extent it goes further, it is likely unconstitutional. Other than that, it’s great.
