SB 858 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

SB 858 requires Tennessee's Attorney General to annually report by January 15 to the governor and legislative leaders the number of court injunctions filed against individuals who harassed state employees during the previous calendar year. The bill directly affects state employees by creating a public record of legal actions taken against harassers, though it does not change harassment laws or create new penalties. Its key provision is the mandatory annual data collection and reporting on these injunctions, as specified in amended Tennessee Code § 50-1-506(c). The bill is currently pending in the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee after committee recommendations.
