Bill > HB1640

This bill amends Tennessee law to make certain records held by the office of homeland security confidential and exempt from public inspection, meaning they cannot be requested by the public under open records laws. Specifically, it designates records related to "critical infrastructure"—which refers to essential physical and cyber systems and assets vital to the state's security, economy, and public health—as confidential. This includes records detailing the security of such infrastructure, analyses of threats, and information about preventing or responding to terrorist or criminal acts against it. The bill also allows the commissioner of safety or their designee to classify records as confidential if they pertain to protected critical infrastructure.
