Local Government, General - As enacted, removes jurisdictional exceptions to prohibition on discrimination against first responders based upon residency with respect to employment; prohibits all local governments in this state from discriminating against first responders with respect to employment based on residence. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 41 and Title 68.

This bill prohibits local governments in Tennessee from discriminating against first responders in employment based on where they live. By removing specific exceptions in state law, it ensures that residency cannot be used as a reason to deny a job or treat a first responder unfairly. The law applies to all local authorities and covers various employment-related decisions. This change strengthens protections for first responders by closing loopholes that previously allowed residency-based discrimination.
