SB 543 amends Tennessee law to allow litigation financiers who are not business entities or partnerships to withdraw their registration with the Secretary of State. To withdraw, these financiers must file a form prescribed by the Secretary of State and pay a $20 fee. The bill updates Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 47, Chapter 16, specifically changing the registration process for this category of financiers. This change directly affects individual or non-entity litigation financiers who previously lacked a clear withdrawal mechanism under existing rules.
