SB 724 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Public Employees - As introduced, provides a five-day grace period for assistant district attorneys general and criminal investigators to submit expense accounts. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 7.

SB 724 (Tennessee) amends state law to provide a five-day grace period for assistant district attorneys general and criminal investigators to submit overdue expense accounts. The bill changes Section 8-7-202(b) by stating that expense accounts must not be paid if submitted late, unless the employee submits the account within five days of the month's end with an explanation for the delay. This directly affects these specific public employees who manage expense reimbursements. The change takes effect June 30, 2025, and only modifies the submission deadline without altering payment eligibility rules.
