AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to make certain records of the office of homeland security confidential and exempt them from public inspection. Specifically, it designates records related to "protected critical infrastructure" – which refers to essential facilities, systems, and assets vital to the state's security and functioning – as confidential. This includes records detailing security plans, analyses of vulnerabilities, warnings, and information concerning the prevention, response to, and mitigation of terrorist or criminal threats against Tennessee's critical infrastructure and homeland. The bill also allows the commissioner of safety or their designee to classify records as confidential if they describe or relate to this protected critical infrastructure, ensuring that sensitive information about the state's security is not publicly accessible.
