Bill overview
This bill modifies Tennessee’s fire prevention regulations by changing how long an employer must consider a job applicant’s criminal history. Specifically, it requires employers to maintain a criminal background check requirement for fire protection personnel for two years after employment, rather than one. The bill also clarifies the process for conducting background investigations and outlines employer responsibilities regarding the costs associated with these investigations. It aims to ensure consistent and thorough background checks for those working in fire protection roles.
