Draft Text

Tennessee HB2016 amends employment-related mental health evaluations, ensuring employees access to evaluation results and allowing legal action if.

Tennessee HB2016 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8 and Title 50, to address employment-related mental health evaluations. It mandates that employers provide employees or prospective employees reasonable access to the results of such evaluations, including any reports from mental health professionals. Employers may require access during normal business hours. If an employee is denied access, they can bring a private cause of action against the employer for relief. The bill also defines "employee" and "employer" for clarity.
