Committee advances narrow change to Tennessee information-protection law to include regulated utilities
Summary
The subcommittee voted unanimously to send House Bill 911 to the Commerce Committee; the bill makes a two-word change to the Tennessee Information Protection Act to cover entities "organized or regulated under the laws of this state," extending coverage to public utilities.
The Banking & Consumer Affairs Subcommittee unanimously approved House Bill 911 and will send the measure to the Commerce Committee.
Representative Peters described the change as a small but targeted edit to the Tennessee Information Protection Act. “I'm literally changing, I think, 2 words, in that bill where it says organized under the laws of this state. That's gonna state organized or regulated under the laws of this state, and it deals with public utilities,” Peters said.
Committee members asked no further substantive questions on the record. The clerk announced the tally: “Mister chairman, you have 7 ayes and 0 nos.” The transcript does not record any amendments beyond the coded change noted by the sponsor, nor any implementation timeline.
