Public Records Exemptions - Removal of Expiration Dates
This proposed bill would remove expiration dates for certain exemptions related to public records in Tennessee. Previously, some types of information that were exempt from being made public had set expiration dates after which they became accessible. If this bill passes, these specific exemptions will no longer have a deadline and could remain confidential indefinitely. This change affects government agencies responsible for maintaining public records and the citizens who request access to them. The exact effective date is not specified.
