CTAS Index of Acts for the 2009 Legislative Session

Every year, the legal staff at the UT County Techinical Assistance Service summarizes all legislation (both public and private acts) that relates to county government. This material is compiled into a publication called the Index of Acts.

The 2009 Index of Acts is now on the Legislative Information page of the CTAS website that can be found (here). These are basic summaries intended to give county officials notice of changes in the laws that affect their offices. As is noted by CTAS, prior to taking action based on these new laws, county officials should consult the actual text of the law or discuss them with their county attorney. The full text of all of the new laws can be found on the website of the Tennessee Secretary of State, listed by the public and private chapter numbers (here).
