SB 1594 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Public Records - As enacted, adds provider reimbursement information that is provided to the comptroller of the treasury to the existing list of examples of proprietary information types that are not subject to disclosure as public records. - Amends TCA Section 71-5-142.

SB 1594 amends Tennessee law to protect healthcare provider reimbursement information submitted to the state's financial officer (comptroller of the treasury) from public disclosure. The bill adds this specific type of data to the existing list of proprietary information that cannot be requested under public records laws. This change directly affects healthcare providers who submit reimbursement details to the comptroller, as it prevents those records from being made public. The policy change modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Section 71-5-142 to explicitly include the comptroller's reimbursement data under protected categories.
