AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 6, Chapter 56, Part 4, relative to contracted
          certified municipal finance officers.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE:

          SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 6-56-406(d), is amended by deleting the
subsection and substituting instead:

                    (d) Notwithstanding this section, a municipality may contract with a certified public
          accountant to perform the duties of a CMFO. The contracted CMFO shall devote a minimum
          of sixteen (16) hours per month to financial oversight on behalf of the municipality, unless the
          municipality has sought and received written approval from the comptroller of the treasury for
          its contracted CMFO to devote less than sixteen (16) hours per month to financial oversight on
          behalf of the municipality. Such approvals are valid for one (1) year. Municipalities must
          request a new approval from the comptroller of the treasury each year.

          SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it.
