Employees, Employers - As introduced, enacts the "Workers' Right to Live Act," which places mandatory reporting requirements on employers concerning workplace fatalities and imposes penalties on employers for workplace fatalities that were a result of employer negligence; makes changes related to workers' compensation benefits. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 29 and Title 50.

HB 2006, the "Workers' Right to Live Act," requires Tennessee employers to report workplace fatalities within 24 hours (with a $50,000 penalty for failure) and mandates investigations into deaths within five business days to determine if negligence caused the fatality. If negligence is found, employers face a minimum $250,000 fine per death and must repay state economic incentives (like tax breaks) received in the prior three years. The bill creates a "worker protection fund" to support families affected by workplace deaths, funded by these penalties. It directly affects employers in high-risk industries like manufacturing and construction, holding them accountable for preventable fatalities through financial penalties and incentive clawbacks.
