More claim protections for local-government linemen

Beginning July 1, 2026, Tennessee extends certain emergency responder protections to qualifying electrical linemen, including those also serving as responders. Covered workers install, maintain, or repair electrical transmission or power distribution systems and work for municipalities, counties, utility districts, or other local governments. If Tennessee denies a covered claim, the lineman’s estate has 90 days after denial to request Department of Finance and Administration review. The department can issue a final order binding on Tennessee, with copies sent to the estate and the department. Review does not guarantee payment.
