New investigations into banned state government preferences

The law gives Tennessee's attorney general authority to investigate claims that state departments, agencies, or other state units used banned preferences. It covers alleged violations of state laws banning discriminatory preferences used to increase diversity, equity, or inclusion. This authority takes effect when the act becomes law. It does not directly change household payments or benefit eligibility.
