HB 2181 requires nonprofit organizations in Tennessee that receive state or federal grants to publicly post the salaries of all their employees on their website every six months. This applies specifically to tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofits operating in Tennessee. The bill mandates that salaries - defined as fixed, regular payments typically paid monthly or biweekly - be compiled, maintained, and made publicly accessible online. Nonprofits failing to comply could face lawsuits, with courts ordering corrective action and requiring the losing party to pay the winner’s legal fees. The law takes effect on July 1, 2026.
