After six weeks of working from home, state legislative employees are headed back to the office on Monday, but under new protocols, the Tennessean reports. Those protocols will keep the Cordell Hull office building in Nashville closed to the public. Visitors, including lobbyists and constituents, will need to make an appointment with legislators to gain entry into the office, but few legislators are likely to be in the building for the next few weeks. The protocols also call for employees to wear masks, maintain six feet distance between other people and to wash their hands frequently. The legislature recessed on March 19 and will resume session on June 1, but will likely hold committee meetings in late May. The reopening comes as thousands of the state's executive branch employees have been told to work they will continue working from home until May 26, the Tennessee Journal reports.
