Bill > SB2308

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 10, Chapter 7, which governs public records, to specify that certain information related to the carrying out of a sentence of death is not confidential and is open to public inspection. Specifically, it clarifies that the identity of a supplier that provides drugs for lethal injection executions is public information, as are the qualifications and experience of individuals involved with that supplier. However, personal identifying information such as residential and office addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, and tax identification numbers of these individuals remain confidential. Additionally, records concerning payments made to individuals or suppliers for their involvement in executions are also made public, with specific reporting requirements for payments to contractors. This change aims to increase transparency regarding the execution process while still protecting the privacy of individuals involved.
