House Bill 1490, sponsored by Moon, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to enhance the confidentiality of certain records related to judicial nominations. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection to Section 2-5-102, which stipulates that the addresses listed on nominating petitions for the positions of judge, chancellor, district attorney general, and public defender are to be considered confidential. This means that these addresses will not be accessible for public inspection, thereby protecting the privacy of individuals involved in the nomination process.

The bill emphasizes the importance of confidentiality in the judicial nomination process and aims to safeguard the personal information of candidates. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgency of the public welfare in this matter.
