County Government - As introduced, creates a supplemental pay incentive program for local correctional officers who receive 40 hours or more of in-service training per calendar year. - Amends TCA Title 38, Chapter 8, Part 1 and Title 41.
HB 2373 creates a $800 annual bonus for full-time, certified county correctional officers in Tennessee who complete at least 40 hours of approved in-service training each year. The bill requires counties to provide this supplemental payment on top of regular salaries, not as a replacement for existing pay or raises. Officers must have worked at least eight months for the county (with exceptions for military service, retirement, or disability) to qualify. The funds must be used solely as a training bonus and cannot be applied to future salary calculations or retirement benefits.
