Tennessee SB2540 modifies public record fees by allowing records custodians to charge reasonable costs for producing and copying records. It removes the requirement for written requests to view public records, allowing requests to be submitted in person, by telephone, fax, mail, email, or via an internet portal if the entity uses such means for official business. The act also mandates that confidential information be redacted whenever possible, and that the redaction does not create a new record. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026.
