SB 797 amends Tennessee law to expand tuition and fee waivers for continuing education for full-time employees of the Tennessee General Assembly. It allows these employees to take more than one course at a time without additional cost, provided they work more hours per week than standard full-time schedules for at least four weeks annually. This clarifies and broadens an existing waiver program, which previously may have limited coverage to single courses. The change directly affects General Assembly staff meeting the higher-hour requirement. The law became effective April 3, 2025.
