After the program end date, at any time that the TNInvestco makes distributions, other than qualified distributions or distributions representing repayments of capital contributions, to its equity investors, the qualified TNInvestco shall pay to the state the end date profit share percentage. Any such payments shall be deposited into the general fund until such time as the department of finance and administration certifies that the total amount of payments deposited in the general fund equals the total amount of revenue forgone pursuant to the credits used as provided in § 4-28-103 . Any payments made in excess of the amount of revenue forgone shall be deposited into the Tennessee rural opportunity fund and the small and minority-owned business assistance program fund to further support the state's economic development efforts. (B) The department shall obtain all necessary information from each TNInvestco to support the state's profit share percentage or the end date profit share percentage.

With regard to adoption, the four-month period shall begin at the time an employee receives custody of the child.

(2) Employees who are prevented from giving three (3) months' advance notice because of a medical emergency that necessitates that leave begin earlier than originally anticipated shall not forfeit their rights and benefits under this section solely because of their failure to give three (3) months' advance notice.

(2) If an employee's job position is so unique that the employer cannot, after reasonable efforts, fill that position temporarily, then the employer shall not be liable under this section for failure to reinstate the employee at the end of the leave period. (3) The purpose of this section is to provide leave time to employees for adoption, pregnancy, childbirth and nursing the infant, where applicable; therefore, if an employer finds that the employee has utilized the period of leave to actively pursue other employment opportunities or if the employer finds that the employee has worked part time or full time for another employer during the period of leave, then the employer shall not be liable under this section for failure to reinstate the employee at the end of the leave. (4) Whenever the employer shall determine that the employee will not be reinstated at the end of the leave because the employee's position cannot be filled temporarily or because the employee has used the leave to pursue employment opportunities or to work for another employer, the employer shall so notify the employee.

Constitutional authority
Status: in_force

The general assembly declares that the authority for this chapter is the following: (1) The tenth amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees to the states and their people all powers not granted to the federal government elsewhere in the constitution and reserves to the state and people of this state certain powers as they were understood at the time that this state was admitted to statehood. The guarantee of those powers is a matter of contract between the state and people of this state and the United States as of the time that the compact with the United States was agreed upon and adopted by this state and the United States; (2) The ninth amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees to the people rights not granted in the constitution and reserves to the people of this state certain rights as they were understood at the time that this state was admitted to statehood. The guarantee of those rights is a matter of contract between the state and people of this state and the United States as of the time that the compact with the United States was agreed upon and adopted by this state and the United States; (3) Congressional authority to regulate commerce is derived from Article I, § 8, of the United States Constitution, which refers only to the regulation of commerce among the states, not within individual states. The United States supreme court has recognized that the power of congress to regulate commerce is therefore limited to the regulation of the channels of interstate commerce, the instrumentalities of interstate commerce, and activities that substantially affect interstate commerce; (4) The United States Constitution does not vest congress with the power to regulate commercial activities that occur wholly within a state and which have no effect among multiple states; (5) The authority to regulate intrastate commerce is vested in the states themselves under the ninth and tenth amendments to the United States Constitution, and such authority remains with the states unless and until expressly preempted by a federal law that is enacted pursuant to the proper constitutional authority of congress; and (6) Therefore, commercial activity that is conducted wholly within this state and which has no substantial effect on commerce activity among multiple states is not subject to federal regulation under the commerce power as it was granted to congress in the United States Constitution. Added by 2024 Tenn. Acts, ch. 1040,s 1, eff. 5/28/2024.

The guarantee of those rights is a matter of contract between the state and people of this state and the United States as of the time that the compact with the United States was agreed upon and adopted by this state and the United States;
(3) Congressional authority to regulate commerce is derived from Article I, § 8, of the United States Constitution, which refers only to the regulation of commerce among the states, not within individual states. The United States supreme court has recognized that the power of congress to regulate commerce is therefore limited to the regulation of the channels of interstate commerce, the instrumentalities of interstate commerce, and activities that substantially affect interstate commerce;
(4) The United States Constitution does not vest congress with the power to regulate commercial activities that occur wholly within a state and which have no effect among multiple states;
(5) The authority to regulate intrastate commerce is vested in the states themselves under the ninth and tenth amendments to the United States Constitution, and such authority remains with the states unless and until expressly preempted by a federal law that is enacted pursuant to the proper constitutional authority of congress; and
(6) Therefore, commercial activity that is conducted wholly within this state and which has no substantial effect on commerce activity among multiple states is not subject to federal regulation under the commerce power as it was granted to congress in the United States Constitution.
