Tennessee SB1616 amends definitions to include arson investigators under the term "firefighter" for disability benefits purposes.
Tennessee SB1616 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 7, Title 8, Title 50, and Title 56 to redefine "firefighter" to include arson investigators employed by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation or as sworn deputies of a county sheriff's department. This change ensures that arson investigators qualify for the same disability benefits as other firefighters. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
