Election Laws - As introduced, increases the time a person may be absent from work to vote, from three hours to four hours. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 8.

HB 520 would increase the maximum time employees in Tennessee can take off work to vote from three hours to four hours. This change directly affects workers who need time off during voting hours, particularly during elections. The bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee's election code (Titles 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) to update this voting time allowance. It does not alter voting eligibility or election procedures beyond extending the permitted work absence duration. The bill is currently pending committee review after being introduced in early 2025.
