Employees, Employers - As introduced, deletes obsolete language referring to the date by which a private employer was required to be in compliance with the Tennessee Lawful Employment Act to receive an economic development incentive. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8 and Title 50.
HB 1042 removes outdated language from Tennessee law that previously referenced a specific compliance date (January 1, 2012) for private employers seeking economic development incentives under the Tennessee Lawful Employment Act. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 50-1-707 to delete the obsolete date reference, updating the statute to reflect current requirements. This technical correction directly affects private employers applying for economic development incentives who must comply with the Lawful Employment Act. The change has no new policy impact - it simply removes outdated language from the code.
