State Employees - As introduced, requires the attorney general to annually report by January 15 of each year to the governor, speaker of the senate, and speaker of the house of representatives the number of injunctions brought against persons who committed harassment against a state employee in the preceding calendar year. - Amends TCA Title 50, Chapter 1.
HB 939 requires Tennessee's Attorney General to annually report by January 15 to the governor and legislative leaders the number of court orders (injunctions) issued against individuals who harassed state employees during the previous calendar year. This bill creates a reporting mechanism for harassment-related legal actions but does not change existing harassment laws or protections for state employees. The report will track how often courts have intervened in such cases against state workers. It is a procedural measure focused on data collection, not policy change.
