Bill > HB0876

This bill amends Tennessee law to clarify the eligibility of full-time Tennessee General Assembly employees for tuition and fee waivers for continuing education. Specifically, the bill adds a provision that allows employees who work more hours per week than a standard full-time schedule for at least four weeks per year to qualify for waivers for more than one course at a time. The modification expands the existing tuition waiver policy to provide additional educational opportunities for certain legislative staff who consistently work extended hours. By designating this as a new subdivision within the existing statute, the bill creates a targeted exception to the standard continuing education benefit, potentially enabling more comprehensive professional development for qualifying General Assembly employees. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee legislature.
