Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 50, Part 8.
Tennessee HB0957 amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to extend paid leave provisions to employees who become foster parents of minor children, in addition to existing provisions for birth and adoption. It affects eligible employees within the state, allowing them to take up to six workweeks of paid leave for fostering, provided they give 30 days' notice. The bill specifies that foster parents must cease leave once the child is no longer in their custody and outlines that the leave cannot exceed six workweeks within a 12-month period, even if multiple qualifying events occur.
