Consumer Protection - As introduced, updates the mandatory notice regarding security freezes to specify that identity theft complaints to the federal trade commission and attorney general and reporter may be submitted via electronic means as specified by the federal trade commission and the attorney general and reporter, instead of only in writing or via their websites. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 7; Title 8; Title 10; Title 38; Title 39; Title 40; Title 47; Title 49; Title 53; Title 56; Title 63; Title 68 and Title 71.
SB 2519 updates Tennessee's consumer protection laws to allow identity theft complaint submissions (regarding security freezes) via electronic means approved by the Federal Trade Commission and Tennessee Attorney General, instead of requiring only written submissions or website filings. This change directly affects consumers who need to report identity theft or request security freezes. The bill amends multiple Tennessee code sections (including Titles 4, 7, 39, and 47) related to private data protection to align with federal electronic filing standards. The key mechanism replaces restrictive language with flexible electronic submission options through authorized federal channels. This simplifies the process for consumers while maintaining compliance with federal guidelines.
