HB2500

Tennessee HB2500 amends public record fees and procedures for requesting public records.

Tennessee HB2500 modifies the Tennessee Code to establish a schedule of reasonable charges for public records requests. It allows records custodians to charge citizens based on these guidelines. The bill also removes the requirement for written requests to view public records, permitting requests via various means if the governmental entity uses them for official business. It mandates that confidential information be redacted and that the costs of redaction be borne by the requestor.
