HB 2462 requires Tennessee governors, state legislators, and U.S. congressional representatives (and their spouses) to either sell or place certain investments - like stocks, commodities, or non-diversified funds - in a blind trust by October 1, 2026 (or within 90 days of taking office for new officials). It excludes diversified mutual funds, ETFs, treasury bonds, and retirement plan investments from this requirement. Officials must submit proof of compliance to the commissioner and secretary of state, with potential $1,000 daily fines for non-compliance. The bill aims to prevent conflicts of interest by separating public officials’ personal finances from investments that could be influenced by their duties.
