Amends TCA Title 8.
Tennessee SB0808 proposes to amend the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Title 8 to establish a volunteer leave policy for state officers and employees who work 1,600 hours or more annually.

Key provisions include requirements for prior approval from supervisors, submission of verification for hours volunteered, and protections against retaliation for employees exercising their rights under this bill.
