AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 68-102-308(b)(2), to extend the required retention period for criminal background checks for fire protection personnel. Previously, employers were required to maintain these records for one year after the duration of employment, but this bill increases that period to two years post-employment. This change applies to both paid and volunteer fire protection personnel, as well as applicants for such positions, and aims to enhance fire prevention efforts by ensuring a longer period of oversight for those involved in fire protection services.
