House Bill 2268 and Senate Bill 1612 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning state employees. The bills modify Section 8-50-1301(b) by changing the term "state-owned office buildings" to "state-owned or leased office buildings." Additionally, they amend Section 8-50-114(a)(1) to allow the waiver for educational courses to be used for more than one course at a time, instead of being limited to one course. Furthermore, Section 8-50-114(h) is entirely deleted from the law.

These changes aim to enhance the flexibility and accessibility of educational opportunities for state employees while also clarifying the definitions related to state office buildings. The bills are set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in their implementation.
