Bill > SB0627

This bill amends Tennessee's campaign finance law to limit the amount the Registry of Election Finance can charge for providing copies of required disclosure statements. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 2-10-206(a)(3) to clarify that any fees charged for copying these documents must not exceed the actual costs of producing the copies. This change aims to ensure transparency and prevent the registry from generating profit from providing public records related to campaign finance disclosures. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the legislation stating that the public welfare requires its swift implementation. By capping the cost of document reproduction at the actual production expenses, the bill seeks to make campaign finance information more accessible to the public by removing potential financial barriers to obtaining these important records.
