Bill > SB0724

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8, Chapter 7, to modify the rules for expense account submission by assistant district attorneys general and criminal investigators. Currently, if these public employees fail to submit their expense accounts in a timely manner, the accounts would be automatically disallowed and not paid. The proposed change introduces a five-day grace period after the end of each month during which these employees can submit their expense accounts with an explanation for the late submission. If they do so within this grace period, their expense accounts can still be processed and paid, providing more flexibility for these public employees while maintaining accountability for timely expense reporting. The bill is set to take effect on June 30, 2025, and was likely designed to address practical challenges these professionals might face in submitting their monthly expense documentation within the original strict deadlines.
