A new Tennessee law prohibits local governments from requiring private employers to provide more generous health insurance benefits, leave policies, hourly wage standards or prevailing wage standards than that required by state or federal law as a condition of doing business in the locality. Signed by Governor Bill Haslam, the new law (H.B. 501) is effective immediately. Any such local laws already enacted are unenforceable.
