SB 1464 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Public Records - As enacted, requires each state governmental entity and official to maintain certain information relative to the operational enforcement of federal and state immigration laws as confidential, and provides that such information is not subject to public inspection. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 10; Title 38; Title 39; Title 40; Title 41 and Chapter 253 of the Public Acts of 2021.

SB 1464 requires Tennessee state and local government entities to keep confidential the personal information (like names and addresses) of officers involved in immigration enforcement, as well as details about future enforcement operations (such as dates, locations, and strategies). This applies to all state and local officials handling such records, with violations punishable as a Class E felony for reckless disclosure or removal from office. The law explicitly excludes information already public under federal law or court orders and does not prevent law enforcement from sharing necessary information for immigration enforcement. It amends multiple Tennessee Code sections to enforce this confidentiality and penalties.
