AI Summary
This bill requires the administrative office of the courts to compile and submit a comprehensive report to the speakers of the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives by October 1, 2025, detailing the number of individuals found guilty of a specific Class A misdemeanor related to employment discrimination. Specifically, the report will cover instances where an employer has dismissed an employee because the employee was serving on a jury, focusing on cases that occurred between January 1, 1990, and January 1, 2025. The bill references Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-16-514, which appears to outline the legal protections for employees' jury service rights. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by tracking and potentially addressing instances of jury service-related employment discrimination.
