Senate Bill 1874, sponsored by Johnson, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 50-7-303, which pertains to suitable work requirements for claimants. The bill specifically removes subdivisions (i)-(iv) from subsection (a)(3)(A) and eliminates the existing criteria that define suitable work based on the gross weekly wages relative to the claimant's average weekly wage during their highest earning quarter.

The changes aim to simplify the definition of suitable work by removing specific wage percentage requirements, thereby potentially broadening the scope of what is considered suitable employment for claimants. This bill will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the need for immediate implementation for the public welfare.
