Open Meetings - As enacted, authorizes a governing body to conduct an executive session for the purpose of interviewing applicants for employment as director-level staff of the body without providing public notice of such session. - Amends TCA Title 8.

SB 2162 allows local government bodies (like city councils or school boards) to hold private executive sessions specifically for interviewing director-level job candidates without public notice. The bill requires decisions about hiring to be made in open meetings later, mandates that minutes list attendees (excluding applicants), and lets job applicants request confidentiality for their applications. If selected, applicants' interview materials may become public under records requests, but unselected applicants' materials must stay confidential upon request. This directly affects local hiring processes for senior staff positions and modifies Tennessee's open meetings law (TCA Title 8) to balance privacy for applicants with public transparency.
