SB 425 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Public Buildings - As enacted, expands public records exception to include residential information of local government employees. - Amends TCA Section 10-7-504.

SB 425 amends Tennessee's public records law to protect the residential information of public employees. The bill specifically adds street addresses, cities, states, and zip codes to the list of exempt information, meaning these details will no longer be disclosed in public records requests. This change directly affects all state, county, municipal, and other public employees by making their home addresses confidential. The law now explicitly excludes residential information from public disclosure, expanding an existing exemption under Tennessee Code Annotated Section 10-7-504.
