AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to protect certain records related to intercollegiate athletics programs at public universities from public disclosure. Specifically, it prohibits the public disclosure of commercial contracts entered into for these programs until July 1, 2033, if their contents could be used to disadvantage a business competitor, though the total amount of state funds spent, the parties involved, and the general subject of the contract would still be public. The bill also extends the existing protection for records concerning game or player integrity, which are kept confidential to maintain competitiveness, and clarifies that this confidentiality does not grant individuals or entities a right to sue for disclosure, except for businesses claiming an economic disadvantage.
