Human Rights - As enacted, repeals rules transferred from the defunct human rights commission to the attorney general and reporter; clarifies that complaints filed with the attorney general pursuant to a human rights investigation must not be produced for inspection by or disclosed to a person, other than an authorized representative of the attorney general, without the consent of the person who filed the complaint. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 21.
SB 2364 repeals outdated rules transferred from Tennessee's defunct Human Rights Commission to the Attorney General's office and strengthens privacy protections for people filing human rights complaints. The bill requires the Attorney General to keep all complaint records and investigation materials confidential without the filer's consent, except when shared with the complainant, respondent, their attorneys, or law enforcement agencies enforcing anti-discrimination laws. This directly affects individuals who file human rights complaints with the Attorney General’s office by ensuring their personal information remains private during investigations. The key provision prohibits disclosure of complaint materials to anyone else without explicit consent, clarifying existing protections under Tennessee law.
