Establishes procedures for state employees to report improper government conduct or crimes.

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8 and Title 50, to establish procedures for state employees to report improper government conduct or crimes. It defines terms such as "crime," "improper government conduct," and "reporter." State employees who witness or have evidence of such conduct or crimes must make a good faith report to a supervisor. Supervisors are required to submit reports to the attorney general and reporter, and failure to do so is a Class B misdemeanor.
