SB 356 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

State Employees - As introduced, requires each appointing authority of a state department or agency to electronically report to the commissioner of human resources the job performance evaluations for the employees in the appointing authority's department or state agency. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8 and Title 50.

SB 356 requires all Tennessee state agencies to electronically submit employee performance evaluations to the state Human Resources Commissioner, replacing previous reporting methods. This bill directly affects every state department and agency that manages employee evaluations. The key change modifies existing law to mandate electronic reporting (instead of other forms of reporting) for these evaluations. The bill aims to modernize how performance data is collected and shared within state government operations. It does not create new evaluation standards but changes the reporting process for existing evaluations.
