Tennessee 2025-2026 Regular Session

• Introduced: 2/6/25

Caption

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 10; Title 29; Title 39; Title 47 and Title 48, relative to personal information.

Summary

SB1339 makes a narrow change to Tennessee’s personal information law by extending a statutory deadline from 45 days to 50 days in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 47-18-3304(b)(2). The bill does not create a new program or new category of regulated conduct; instead, it adjusts the timing requirement for an existing obligation tied to personal information-related compliance. The measure amends one provision within Title 47, which governs commerce and trade, and leaves the rest of the referenced titles unchanged. Its practical effect is to give the affected party five additional days to meet the deadline established in the underlying statute. The act is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2025.

Impact

The bill amends Tennessee’s consumer/privacy-related statutory framework by changing a compliance deadline in Section 47-18-3304(b)(2) from 45 days to 50 days. This affects the timing of obligations for any businesses or entities subject to that provision, but it does not alter the substantive rights, duties, or enforcement structure of the underlying personal information law.

Sentiment

Based on the available record, there is no committee transcript or vote history showing debate, opposition, or support, so the bill’s sentiment cannot be directly measured from legislative discussion. The text itself suggests a technical, low-profile adjustment rather than a controversial policy change, and the absence of recorded votes or remarks indicates no documented public contention in the materials provided.

Contention

No specific points of contention are documented in the available transcripts or voting history. If any disagreement existed, it is not reflected in the provided record. The only substantive issue apparent from the bill text is whether extending the deadline from 45 to 50 days is appropriate for the regulated parties and the state’s personal information compliance process.
