AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to make the addresses of individuals who sign nominating petitions for certain judicial and prosecutorial offices confidential, meaning they will no longer be publicly accessible. Specifically, this applies to petitions for candidates running for judge, chancellor, district attorney general, and public defender. The bill references existing Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) sections, including § 10-7-503, which generally governs public access to records, but carves out an exception for these specific addresses to protect them from public inspection. This change is intended to take effect immediately upon becoming law due to public welfare concerns.
