SB 627 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Campaigns and Campaign Finance - As introduced, prohibits the registry of election finance from charging a member of the public more than the registry's actual costs when providing a copy of a report regarding a required disclosure statement filed with the registry. - Amends TCA Title 2; Title 39 and Title 47.

SB 627 limits fees charged by Tennessee's election finance registry when providing copies of campaign disclosure reports to the public. It prohibits the registry from charging more than the actual cost of producing those copies, directly affecting voters, journalists, and watchdog groups seeking campaign finance data. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Sections 2-10-206(a)(3), 39, and 47 to enforce this fee cap. This change ensures public access to campaign finance records without excessive costs, aligning with existing disclosure requirements.
