AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 10-7-504, which deals with public records, by removing specific expiration dates from certain exemptions that allow certain information to be kept private. In plain language, this means that some exceptions to public access for government records will no longer automatically end after a set period, making them potentially permanent unless otherwise changed by future legislation. The bill specifically targets the deletion of these expiration dates from several subsections within the existing law, ensuring that these particular types of records, which were previously subject to a time limit for their confidential status, will now remain exempt from public disclosure indefinitely.
