AI Summary

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends Tennessee law to make certain personally identifying information of elected state and local public officials confidential and not subject to public inspection when held by government entities. This means details like home addresses, social security numbers, and other sensitive data, as defined by existing law, will be protected. However, this confidentiality has exceptions: law enforcement, courts, and other government agencies performing official duties can still access this information, and it does not affect the public's access to personnel records that are already open under current law. Furthermore, elected officials can authorize the release of their own confidential information, and the law requires that confidential information be redacted where possible without denying access to other public information within a document.
