Senate Bill 2292 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 7, Part 1, to enhance the confidentiality of records related to intercollegiate athletics programs at public institutions of higher education. The bill specifies that such records will be treated as confidential and not open for public inspection if they contain information about game or player integrity that is traditionally kept private to maintain competitiveness, or if they involve commercial contracts that could impact a business's economic advantage if disclosed.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not create any private cause of action or liability, except for businesses claiming that disclosure would harm their competitive edge. A new provision is added stating that the confidentiality of commercial contracts will be repealed on July 1, 2033. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of protecting sensitive information in the realm of intercollegiate athletics.
