Tennessee Information Protection Act — Tennessee General Assembly

Tennessee's consumer privacy statute, notable for the safe harbour it writes into the law: a controller that documents a privacy programme reasonably conforming to the NIST Privacy Framework gets an affirmative defence against enforcement. The substantive rights track the other state privacy acts — access, correction, deletion, portability and an opt-out of targeted advertising and sale. What we watch here is legislation, not the consolidated text of the Act: bills in the Tennessee General Assembly that name the Tennessee Information Protection Act, as tracked by OpenStates. A new bill shows up on this page; so does a change to a bill's official summary, which Tennessee rewrites when a bill is amended or enacted. Some bills that only mention the Act, without amending it, come through as well.
