Bill > SB1970

This bill amends Tennessee law concerning public records to grant individuals who are not citizens of Tennessee the right to inspect or receive copies of law enforcement records or reports that solely pertain to them, such as arrest or incident reports, provided they submit a written request, a copy of their government-issued photo ID, and an affidavit confirming the record is about them. However, this right does not extend to records that are legally confidential, privileged under Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 16, or protected by investigative privilege, and the state can still charge reasonable costs for producing these records.
