Tennessee HB2074 amends employment laws to allow prospective public safety employees to submit alternative mental health evaluations and grants them.
Tennessee HB2074 amends several titles of the Tennessee Code to allow prospective employees in public safety positions to submit alternative mental health evaluations conducted by qualified professionals. Employers must reevaluate these submissions and provide access to the evaluation results. Employees can bring private legal actions against employers for violations, with potential for court costs and attorney fees. The act defines "public safety position" and "qualified mental health professional" and takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
