Criminal Offenses - As introduced, requires the administrative office of the courts to report by October 1, 2025, to the speaker of the senate and the speaker of the house of representatives the number of persons found guilty of the Class A misdemeanor of, as an employer, dismissing from employment an employee because of jury service by that employee, from January 1, 1990, until January 1, 2025. - Amends TCA Title 39.

HB 989 requires Tennessee's administrative office of the courts to report to legislative leaders by October 1, 2025, on how many employers were convicted of illegally firing employees for serving on a jury. The report will cover all such convictions under existing law (Tennessee Code § 39-16-514) from 1990 through 2025. This bill does not change the law or create new penalties - it only mandates a data collection effort to track enforcement of the current prohibition against employer retaliation for jury service. The summary focuses solely on the reporting requirement, which directly affects the administrative office (as the reporter) and the legislature (as the recipient of the data).
