Courts, Supreme Court of Tennessee - As introduced, requires the expenses of the Tennessee supreme court to include each year an amount sufficient to provide the chief justice with a security detail to transport and accompany the chief justice on all official state business. - Amends TCA Title 16 and Title 17.

Maddy summaryHB 3, introduced in Tennessee's 2025 legislative session, requires the state Supreme Court budget to include annual funding for a security detail to accompany the Chief Justice during all official state business. This bill directly affects the Chief Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court by mandating security coverage for their official duties. The key provision amends Tennessee Code Sections 16-3-103 (relating to court expenses) to explicitly include this security detail funding, effective July 1, 2025. The bill was withdrawn on January 16, 2025, and did not become law.

Labor - As enacted, clarifies that in determining whether a person is an illegal alien for employment purposes, the person's status is considered with respect to the employment of the person at a particular time. - Amends TCA Title 50.

Maddy summaryThis Tennessee law clarifies how employers determine if a worker is an undocumented immigrant for the purpose of hiring. It specifies that an alien is considered an illegal alien only if they are not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or authorized to work at the specific moment they are being employed. The change ensures that a person's immigration status is evaluated based on their situation at the time of hiring rather than looking at their entire history. Employers in the state must use this updated definition when verifying worker eligibility under federal immigration rules.
