Bill > HB2045

This bill amends Tennessee law to allow candidates or officeholders to use campaign funds for residential security, permitting up to $12,000 per year for expenses like security equipment, monitoring services, safe rooms, and security guards for non-campaign related personal residence security. The bill specifies what constitutes "home security equipment" and requires these expenditures to be disclosed as "residential security," while also noting that information related to these security expenditures will be kept confidential during audits or investigations. This provision aims to enhance the personal safety of elected officials and candidates by allowing them to utilize campaign funds for necessary security measures at their homes, separate from campaign-related security needs.
