State Government - As introduced, requires departments, agencies, and other state governmental entities to make information and records available, including by means of direct electronic access, to the staff of the general assembly's fiscal review committee; requires the department of finance and administration to provide the office of legislative budget analysis with access to applicable state budget formulation and management systems. - Amends TCA Title 3, Chapter 13; Title 3, Chapter 14 and Title 3, Chapter 7.

HB 2281 requires Tennessee state agencies to provide the General Assembly's fiscal review committee staff with direct electronic access to all agency data systems and records, including financial, program, and performance information. This affects all state departments, boards, and commissions (like the Department of Education or Wildlife Resources Agency) by mandating they share digital records within 15 business days of a request. The bill specifies that agencies must provide access through secure electronic means, data extracts, or on-site review, while protecting information prohibited by law or court order. It also requires agencies to explain restrictions within 10 days and ensures confidential data remains protected and used only for committee duties. The policy change streamlines access to state data for legislative budget oversight without altering agency records.
