AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 8; Title 10; Title 29; Title 39; Title 47 and Title 48, relative to personal information.

1. **ONE-SENTENCE SUMMARY**: This bill extends the time businesses have to respond to consumer requests about personal information from 45 days to 50 days. 2. **KEY REQUIREMENTS**: - Inform consumers of your decision regarding their requests for personal information within 50 days. - Ensure that your processes for handling consumer requests are updated to reflect this new timeline. 3. **DEADLINES**: - The bill is currently introduced and does not have an effective date yet; monitor for updates on its passage. 4. **PENALTIES**: - Failure to comply with the response timeline could lead to enforcement actions, though specific fines are not detailed in the bill. 5. **SMB IMPACT**: Small businesses will need to adjust their response processes to accommodate the additional five days for consumer requests, which could require staff training or system updates. This change may help reduce the pressure of responding quickly but still requires careful management of consumer communications.
