House Bill 1496, also known as Senate Bill 1641, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 10-7-604, concerning the data provided to the Secretary of State. The bill mandates that the Secretary of State compile and publish an annual update of the required data listed in Section 10-7-603. The new language specifies that this compiled data must be published on or about November 15 each year and explicitly states that personal mailing addresses and telephone numbers of members are to be excluded from disclosure, as they are considered confidential.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of protecting personal information while ensuring transparency in the data provided by state agencies. The changes aim to streamline the process of data compilation and publication while safeguarding sensitive personal information from public access.
