AI Summary
This bill modifies Tennessee law to protect certain records related to intercollegiate athletics programs at public higher education institutions from public disclosure. Specifically, it extends the confidentiality of records concerning game or player integrity, which are traditionally kept private to maintain competitiveness, and introduces a new provision that shields commercial contracts entered into for these athletics programs from public view until July 1, 2033, provided their disclosure could harm a business's economic advantage over competitors. The bill clarifies that these confidentiality provisions do not grant individuals or entities a right to sue for disclosure or seek court orders to force it, with the exception of businesses arguing that disclosure would undermine their competitive edge.
