Bill > HB0418

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 10-7-504 to provide more clarity around the confidentiality and potential publication of survey records collected by the comptroller of the treasury. Specifically, the bill allows the comptroller to publish aggregate survey data and survey responses that do not reveal the identity of individual respondents, while maintaining confidentiality for survey records, responses, identifying information, and internal communications. The legislation explicitly excludes surveys conducted by the office of open records counsel from these provisions. The change aims to balance transparency by allowing the publication of generalized survey information while protecting the privacy of individual survey participants. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
