HB 460 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Secretary of State - As introduced, 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 460 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, their relationship to the filer, and submit under penalty of law. If the Secretary of State finds clear evidence of unauthorized filing, they can void the document, though no filing fee refund is provided to the original filer. This directly affects people whose personal information was submitted without permission and businesses that filed such records.
