Secretary of State - As enacted, establishes a complaint process with the secretary of state for any person who contends that the person’s name or address was included on a document filed with the secretary of state without the person’s consent. - Amends TCA Title 48.
HB 1341 creates a process for individuals to challenge when their name or address was filed with Tennessee's Secretary of State without their consent. To file a complaint, individuals must provide specific details about the document and their relationship to the business involved, and the Secretary must review it within 30 business days. If the Secretary finds the filing was unauthorized (based on clear evidence), they can void the document, though no refund will be issued for the original filing cost. This law directly affects individuals whose personal information was included in business filings without permission and the Secretary of State's office, which administers the complaint process.
