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.

HB 1067 amends Tennessee law to shorten the deadline for certain state employees to file appeals against adverse employment actions. Specifically, it changes the required filing period from 14 calendar days to 10 business days after an employee becomes aware (or should have reasonably become aware) of the action. This applies directly to employees in Tennessee's "preferred service system" who face employment decisions like termination or demotion. The bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Section 8-30-318 to implement this time reduction. The change affects the procedural timeline for appeals but does not alter the substantive rights or processes for employees.
