SB 2000 Tennessee Senate · 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.

SB 2000 allows Tennessee elected officials (officeholders) to use leftover campaign funds to purchase home security equipment (like cameras or alarms) and monitoring services for their personal residences. The bill amends Tennessee campaign finance law (TCA Title 2, Chapter 10) to explicitly permit this new use of unspent campaign money. It directly affects current and future officeholders who have campaign funds remaining after elections. The change expands the allowable purposes of campaign funds beyond traditional election expenses to include home security for the officeholder's personal residence. This is a policy change to the rules governing campaign fund usage, not a new funding source.
