Civil Rights Enforcement

 

Tennessee’s HB 910 eliminates the Tennessee Human Rights Commission (THRC) effective July 1, 2025. Its core civil rights enforcement duties—such as investigating discrimination claims in employment—are transferred to a newly created Civil Rights Enforcement Division within the Tennessee Attorney General’s Office. This new division will be led by a director appointed by the Attorney General and will take over responsibilities previously handled by the THRC.
