Tennessee HB2608 regulates access to historical location data by government entities, ensuring privacy and security.

Tennessee HB2608, known as the "Protecting Everyone from Excessive Police Surveillance (PEEPS) Act," establishes strict guidelines for government entities' access to historical location data. It mandates that such data be destroyed within seven days unless a criminal defendant requests its preservation. Government officials must obtain a search warrant for access, except in exigent circumstances or for specific enforcement purposes. The bill prohibits sharing of this data outside the scope of employment and requires annual compliance reports.
