Tennessee Employment Litigation Reform Bill Heads for Governor’s Desk

Business-friendly Tennessee, known for its low business taxes and minimal red tape, is on track to be even friendlier if Governor Bill Haslam signs a bill removing liability for employment discrimination from individual supervisors or agents under the Tennessee Human Rights Act and limiting discriminatees’ “non-pecuniary” damages, among other things. Once signed, the new law will become effective July 1, 2014.
