Tennessee changes discrimination enforcement and privacy

The law takes effect upon becoming law. It repeals all commission rules previously transferred to Tennessee’s attorney general and shifts one commission role to that office. The input does not identify those rules or their specific effects. Complaints and investigation records generally stay private, with access limited to authorized attorney general staff. Disclosure is allowed with the source’s consent or a court order for good cause. Records can also go to either side, their lawyers, or state or federal agencies enforcing anti-discrimination laws. The attorney general can use copies to enforce the law, including in court. These rules also cover voluntarily supplied records from another attorney general’s investigative demand, legally required sharing, or someone with relevant information. For settlements called conciliation agreements, the law removes the requirement for both sides’ consent and a separate attorney general determination before public release. It does not require any particular agreement to be released.
