General Assembly - As introduced, requires a state governmental entity to disclose records and information to a member of the general assembly to enable the member to determine whether the laws of this state are being complied with and to determine whether the laws of this state need to be changed in accordance with certain procedures. - Amends TCA Title 3; Title 4 and Title 10, Chapter 7, Part 5.
SB 2034 requires Tennessee state agencies to disclose records and information to legislators upon written request, enabling them to assess compliance with state laws or identify needed legal changes. To access records, legislators must submit a written request with relevant details, sign a confidentiality agreement, and review materials only on-site at the agency. The bill mandates that all reviewed records remain in the agency's possession and does not alter existing confidentiality protections. This procedural bill affects state governmental entities and legislators by establishing specific protocols for legislative oversight access.
