SB 2340 would amend Tennessee law to extend the time employers have to respond to workplace safety citations under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Specifically, it increases the deadline for filing objections to a citation from 20 to 25 days after receipt, and extends the period before a citation becomes a final order from 20 to 25 days. These changes would directly affect businesses receiving safety violation notices from the state's occupational safety agency. The bill aims to provide more time for employers to address safety concerns before penalties become final.
