Senate Bill 1874, also known as House Bill 2542, 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 language that defines suitable work based on whether the gross weekly wages meet certain percentages of the claimant's average weekly wage during their highest earning quarter.

The changes aim to simplify the criteria for determining suitable work by removing specific wage percentage requirements, thereby potentially broadening the scope of what is considered suitable employment for claimants. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for public welfare.
