Employees, Employers - As introduced, requires employers that condition employment or prospective employment upon an employee or prospective employee submitting to a mental health evaluation to grant the employee or prospective employee reasonable access to the results of the mental health evaluation, including any report from a mental health professional or other evaluator; provides a private right of action for an employee or prospective employee who is denied such access. - Amends TCA Title 8 and Title 50.
SB 2033 requires Tennessee employers who make mental health evaluations a condition of employment or hiring to provide employees and job applicants with reasonable access to the evaluation results, including reports from mental health professionals. This applies to all employers (including state agencies) and directly affects workers and job seekers who undergo such evaluations. The bill creates a private right of action, allowing individuals to sue employers who deny access to results and seek court orders, attorney fees, and costs if they win. The law takes effect upon enactment, ensuring transparency in employment-related mental health assessments.
