State Employees - As introduced, requires an employee in the preferred service system to file an appeal regarding an adverse employment action to the board of appeals not later than 10 days rather than 14 days after the date the employee became aware, or should have reasonably became aware, of the adverse action. - Amends TCA Section 8-30-318.

SB 1006 shortens the deadline for Tennessee state employees in the preferred service system to file appeals against adverse employment actions - from 14 calendar days to 10 business days. It directly affects employees facing decisions like termination or demotion who wish to challenge these actions through the board of appeals. The key provision requires appeals to be submitted within 10 business days of when the employee knew, or should have reasonably known, about the adverse action. This amendment modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Section 8-30-318 without changing the types of actions that can be appealed.
