HB 2050 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Campaigns and Campaign Finance - As introduced, authorizes the use of unexpended campaign funds by an officeholder to procure home security equipment and monitoring services for the officeholder's personal residence. - Amends TCA Title 2, Chapter 10.

HB 2050 would amend Tennessee campaign finance law to allow state officeholders (such as legislators) to use unspent campaign funds for home security equipment and monitoring services at their personal residences. The bill explicitly adds these expenses as permitted uses under existing rules, covering both hardware/software (like cameras and alarms) and professional monitoring services. It does not create new funding but expands how leftover campaign money can be spent. This change applies only to unexpended campaign funds already held by officeholders.
