SB 1575 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

State Government - As introduced, authorizes a governmental entity to publish notices of public meetings on a secure website of the governmental body; authorizes a person to request an electronic or hard copy of an e-newsletter or notice published by the governmental body if the governmental body provides such documents electronically. - Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 44, Part 1.

SB 1575 would allow Tennessee government agencies to publish public meeting notices on a secure website instead of in a newspaper. It requires agencies that provide electronic notices (like e-newsletters) to offer a way for people to sign up for email notices or request paper copies by mail. This bill directly affects local governments and citizens by changing how meeting notices are distributed. The key provision standardizes online notice as a valid method while ensuring accessibility for those who prefer physical copies.
