Tennessee limits local job rules for workers
Tennessee local governments cannot adopt or enforce job requirements that exceed or conflict with state or federal law. This includes actions by their agencies, departments, and officials, unless state law expressly allows them. Local-government employees are exempt from this limit and subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) of Tennessee Code § 7-51-1802. The provided text does not explain those four subsections, so their effect on these workers is unclear. These changes took effect when the act became law.
