Consumer Protection - As introduced, changes the definition of "definable group" for purposes of the Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security Act of 2024 to include a choral group rather than a glee club. - Amends TCA Title 47, Chapter 25, Part 11.
This bill amends Tennessee's privacy law to change the definition of "definable group" from "glee club" to "choral group" for the Ensuring Likeness, Voice, and Image Security Act. The change affects how the law identifies groups of people whose likeness, voice, or image may be protected under privacy regulations. By updating this specific term, the bill ensures that choral groups are treated the same as glee clubs regarding personal rights protections. The amendment takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
