As Tennessee Legislature's office building reopens Monday, some workers harbor coronavirus concerns
NASHVILLE — The Tennessee General Assembly's home in a massive, 11-story office building located in downtown Nashville is scheduled to reopen Monday for the first time since March 23, when the building closed amid concerns over the growing coronavirus pandemic.
Lawmakers recessed their annual session on March 19 after passing an emergency budget. They are scheduled to return June 1.
Legislative officials say the 479,142-square-foot Cordell Hull State Building has been extensively cleaned with new protocols put in place to ensure safety.
Visitors, including lobbyists and constituents, will be allowed in only by appointment and escorted to offices of the 132 senators and representatives.
