HB 97
SUMMARY OF BILL: Defines "working day" for members of the Tennessee Army and Air
National Guard, the Tennessee State Guard, and the Civil Air Patrol as the number of hours an
employee is scheduled to work in a 24-hour period.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• The proposed legislation provides clarification for members of the Tennessee Army and Air
National Guard, Tennessee State Guard, and Civil Air Patrol by defining “working day” as
the number of hours an employee is scheduled to work in a 24-hour period.
• This change impacts unpaid leave under Tenn. Code Ann. § 8-33-110 by providing a uniform
standard for calculating and administering leave.
• According to the Department of Human Resources (DHR) Rule 1120-06-.03, the standard
workweek is defined as 168 continuous hours comprising seven consecutive 24-hour periods.
• The proposed legislation aligns with this definition, so it is assumed that it will not change
DHR’s operations significantly or create new state expenditures.
CERTIFICATION:
The information contained herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
