Bill > SB2320

This bill allows Tennessee candidates or officeholders to use campaign funds for residential security, clarifying that such expenditures are not considered personal use. Specifically, it permits up to $12,000 per year to be spent on various security measures for their homes, including consultations, equipment like cameras and sensors, monitoring services, safe rooms, and security guards for non-campaign related purposes. The bill defines "home security equipment" broadly to encompass a wide range of protective devices and systems. These expenditures must be reported as "residential security," and all related documentation will be kept confidential during audits or investigations. The bill also emphasizes that this provision does not prevent the use of campaign funds for other security needs related to a candidate's election or an officeholder's duties.
