SB 2682 requires Tennessee governors, state legislators, and U.S. congressional members (and their spouses) to divest or place specific investments in a blind trust by October 1, 2026 (or within 90 days of taking office for new officials). It defines "covered investments" as stocks, commodities, or certain funds but excludes diversified mutual funds, ETFs, treasury bonds, and retirement plans. Officials must submit compliance certificates to the commissioner and face daily civil penalties of up to $1,000 for non-compliance. The bill aims to reduce potential conflicts of interest by separating public officials' personal finances from investments that could influence their decisions.
