Officeholders can fund home security through campaigns

Effective upon becoming law, Tennessee officeholders can spend campaign funds on qualifying home security without violating personal-use rules. Spending is capped at $12,000 per calendar year. Covered costs include home security consultations, equipment, monitoring, safe rooms, and guards at their personal residences for non-campaign purposes. Equipment includes security software, entryway and motion sensors, base stations, control panels, cameras, video doorbells, floodlights, and key fobs. It also includes panic buttons, glass break sensors, smoke and fire detectors, locks, security fencing, and security doors. Officeholders must report these costs as “residential security” and keep all related records under existing recordkeeping rules. During audits or investigations, all information the campaign finance registry receives about these expenses is confidential and unavailable for public inspection. The law does not prohibit campaign-funded security outside the home that relates to a candidate’s election or supports an officeholder’s work.
