Draft Text

Tennessee SB2428 mandates local governmental entities to prioritize veterans and their spouses in hiring and promotion interviews.

Tennessee SB2428 amends state law to require local governmental entities to invite veterans and their spouses for interviews when positions are open. This applies to both appointments and promotions. If a veteran is in the pool of candidates and meets the minimum qualifications, they must be invited to interview. Additionally, if a veteran is permanently and totally disabled due to military service or died in the line of duty, they must be given preference. Surviving spouses of deceased veterans who have not remarried must also be invited to interview if they meet residency requirements.
