Campaigns and Campaign Finance - As introduced, prohibits the registry of election finance from charging a member of the public more than the registry's actual costs when providing a copy of a report regarding a required disclosure statement filed with the registry. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 39 and Title 47.
HB 581 limits fees charged by Tennessee's election finance registry when providing copies of campaign finance disclosure reports to the public. It prohibits the registry from charging more than the actual cost of producing the copies, directly affecting citizens and organizations requesting these reports. The bill amends Tennessee Code Section 2-10-206(a)(3) to replace previous fee language with a clear cap on charges. This change ensures the registry cannot impose additional fees beyond the documented costs of copying the reports.
