Tort Liability and Reform - As enacted, declares a private entity to be not civilly liable in a class action resulting from a cybersecurity event unless the cybersecurity event was caused by willful and wanton misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the private entity. - Amends TCA Title 29 and Title 47.

Maddy summaryThis Tennessee law limits the ability of groups of people to sue private businesses for damages resulting from data breaches or unauthorized access to computer systems. Under the new rules, a private company will only be held financially responsible in a class-action lawsuit if the security incident was caused by willful misconduct, wanton behavior, or gross negligence. The legislation specifically defines a "cybersecurity event" as unauthorized access to or disruption of an information system containing nonpublic personal data, such as social security numbers or financial account details. By raising the standard for liability, the bill aims to protect private entities from broad lawsuits unless they acted with a high degree of fault.

Business and Commerce - As enacted, requires the Tennessee advisory commission on intergovernmental relations to conduct a study on the effects of vaping and the use of all vapor products by persons under 21. - Amends TCA Title 25; Title 39; Title 47 and Title 67.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Tennessee laws regarding tobacco and vapor products to require the state department to submit reports on these items electronically and publish them on its website. It directly affects the state's regulatory agencies responsible for overseeing tobacco and vaping by changing how they share information with the public. The key provision mandates that reports be made available online rather than just through traditional paper distribution. This change aims to improve public access to data without altering the underlying rules about vaping or tobacco use.
