Newspapers and Publications - As enacted, requires the Tennessee advisory commission on intergovernmental relations (TACIR) to conduct a study to determine if newspapers of general circulation remain the most efficient and effective manner for governments to provide the public with transparent and accessible information. - Amends TCA Title 1, Chapter 3 and Title 8, Chapter 44.

HB 2114 allows Tennessee local governments (like cities and counties) to publish certain public notices online instead of in print newspapers, starting July 1, 2027. Local governments must first adopt a written policy and pass an ordinance detailing how electronic notices will be posted, ensuring free public access, security, and accessibility for all users. The policy must specify retention periods, standardized notice formats, and legally compliant posting rules, while requiring third-party websites to charge only reasonable fees for hosting. Notices still required by law to appear in print newspapers must continue to be published that way.
