SB 615 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Workers Compensation - As introduced, decreases from 10 business days to 10 calendar days, the amount of time the advisory council on workers' compensation has to provide a summary of a meeting after it has been conducted to each member of legislative committees with jurisdiction over commerce. - Amends TCA Title 4 and Title 50.

SB 615 amends Tennessee law to change the deadline for the Workers' Compensation Advisory Council from providing meeting summaries to legislative committees. Specifically, it shortens the required timeframe from "10 business days" to "10 calendar days" after a meeting, meaning weekends and holidays now count toward the deadline. This procedural change directly affects the advisory council and legislative committees with jurisdiction over commerce, streamlining their reporting timeline. The bill does not alter workers' compensation benefits or claims processes, only the administrative schedule for committee communications.
