HB 344 defines "working day" for Tennessee state and local government employees who are reservists called to active military duty. It specifies that a "working day" means the number of hours an employee is scheduled to work in a 24-hour period. This change clarifies how military leave and compensation are calculated under existing law (TCA Title 8, Chapter 33). The bill directly affects employees in state or local government who serve in reserve components of the U.S. armed forces.
