House Bill 112 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to include specific state employees and their eligibility for bereavement leave. The bill adds new subdivisions to Section 8-30-102(b), specifically including employees of the Tennessee sports wagering council, full-time board members of the board of parole, and full-time board members of the inmate disciplinary oversight board.

Additionally, the bill modifies Section 8-50-113 by establishing a new subsection that mandates bereavement leave for the identified state employees without charging their accumulated leave accounts. The leave provisions specify three days for the death of siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, foster parents, or parents-in-law; five days for parents or stepparents; and ten days for spouses, children, or stepchildren. This act will take effect upon becoming law.
