Salaries and Benefits - As enacted, enacts "The Chance Carlton Act." - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7, Chapter 51; Title 8 and Title 50.

HB 1464 would provide a $50,000 annual payment for five years to the estate of an electrical lineman who dies while working in the line of duty. The bill extends this benefit, currently available to emergency responders, to electrical linemen by amending Tennessee law to include them in the same eligibility category. It defines an "electrical lineman" as a worker who installs, maintains, or repairs electrical systems for a local government or its contractors. The bill is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026.
