Bill > HB0581

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 2-10-206(a)(3), to clarify the fees that the registry of election finance can charge when providing copies of campaign finance disclosure reports to members of the public. The amendment limits the cost of producing these copies to the registry's actual expenses, preventing the agency from charging more than the real cost of reproducing the documents. By specifying "not to exceed the registry's actual cost of producing such copies," the bill aims to ensure transparency and prevent potential overcharging for access to public campaign finance records. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by making campaign finance information more accessible and affordable to citizens who wish to review these important documents.
