Senate Bill 1866, also known as House Bill 1907, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 50-1-103(a), regarding the definition of "illegal alien" in the context of employment. The bill deletes the existing definition in subdivision (4) and replaces it with a new definition that clarifies that an "illegal alien" is an individual who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States or not authorized to be employed under the federal Immigration and Naturalization Act.

The changes made by this bill aim to provide a clearer understanding of who qualifies as an illegal alien concerning employment status. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2024, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
