Bill > HB1911

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 10, Chapter 7, which governs 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 identifying the specific record, a copy of their government-issued photo identification, and a signed affidavit confirming the record is about them. However, this right does not extend to records that are legally confidential, protected by Rule 16 of the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure, or covered by investigative privilege, and the state can still charge reasonable costs for producing these records.
