Bill > SB0425

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 10-7-504, which relates to public records and exceptions to public disclosure. Specifically, the bill expands an existing exception to public records access by protecting the residential information of state, county, municipal, and other public employees. The residential information being shielded from public disclosure includes the street address, city, state, and zip code of these employees. This change means that personal address details of public employees would be kept confidential and not subject to public records requests, likely to protect the privacy and potential safety of government workers. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated rationale of serving the public welfare by safeguarding the personal contact information of public employees.
