Bill > SB2215

This bill, known as the "Protecting Everyone from Excessive Police Surveillance (PEEPS) Act," establishes new rules for how government officials and entities in Tennessee can access and maintain "historical location data," which is defined as records revealing an individual's or vehicle's location more than 24 hours in the past. The bill's core provision is that government officials generally cannot access this data without a search warrant for a felony investigation, consent from the individuals involved, or in specific exigent circumstances like emergencies, with exceptions for toll collection, traffic, and parking enforcement. Furthermore, any collected historical location data must be destroyed within two to seven days unless preserved for a criminal defendant, and governmental entities must implement strict security policies, encrypt data, maintain detailed records of access, and conduct monthly audits and annual reports on compliance. Violations can lead to suspension of access to databases, and data accessed improperly will not be admissible in court, with local governments prohibited from enacting less restrictive rules.
