Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed the state’s COVID-19 omnibus bill Friday, ensuring government entities cannot force private businesses to institute COVID-19 mandates and private businesses cannot take action against unvaccinated employees nor compel an employee or visitor to show proof of vaccination.

Lee also signed bills on partisan school board elections, district attorneys, banking collateral, the length of time allowed for executive orders and appropriations related to bills coming out of the Legislature’s COVID-19-related special session.
