Bill > SB0390

This bill amends Tennessee law to modify how the comptroller of the treasury can handle survey records. Specifically, the bill allows the comptroller to publish certain survey data that was previously considered confidential. Under the new provisions, the comptroller can now release aggregate survey data and survey responses that do not reveal the identity of individual respondents. The bill maintains confidentiality protections for identifying information, intra-agency and interagency communications, and other sensitive survey-related records. An important exception is noted: this provision does not apply to surveys conducted by the office of open records counsel. The change aims to provide more transparency while still protecting individual privacy by preventing the publication of personally identifiable survey information. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
