Limits on community conditions for employers

Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee limits community benefits agreements tied to economic development incentives. State entities cannot enter these or similar contracts imposing job, benefit, or operating requirements unrelated to employers’ incentive duties. Community benefits agreements cover employer promises to outside groups, including community funding, wage rules, or union staffing. Employers face fewer allowed conditions, while workers and communities lose those ways to secure commitments through state incentive agreements. The restriction covers contracts, agreements, and understandings signed, renewed, or otherwise changed on or after July 1, 2025.
