Bill > SB0797

This bill amends Tennessee law to clarify the eligibility requirements for full-time employees of the general assembly to receive a waiver of tuition and fees for continuing education. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing statute to specify that employees who work more hours per week than a typical full-time job for at least four weeks per year can qualify for tuition waivers for more than one course at a time. The change provides additional educational opportunities for legislative employees who consistently work extended hours. By adding this provision to the existing law, the bill recognizes that some general assembly employees may have work schedules that exceed standard full-time employment, and therefore should be eligible for expanded continuing education benefits. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee legislature.
