SB 545 creates a process for Tennessee residents to challenge if their name or address was included on a business document filed with the Secretary of State without their consent. Individuals can file a complaint with required details, prompting the Secretary to notify involved businesses and review the claim within 30 business days. If the complainant provides strong proof, the Secretary can cancel the unauthorized filing, though no refund is issued for the original filing fee. This directly affects residents whose personal information appeared on business records without permission and businesses that filed such records.
