Tenn. House Passes Privacy Bill

Tennessee's comprehensive privacy bill passed the House with an amendment in a 90-0 vote Monday. As amended, HB-1181 would apply to any company with more than $25 million annual revenue, which controls or processes personal data of at least 25,000 consumers and gets more than half its gross revenue from selling that data, said a fiscal memo. It would also apply if the company controls or processes personal data of at least 175,000 consumers in one year. The attorney general would have exclusive enforcement authority and the bill would take effect July 1, 2025. The Tennessee Senate is scheduled to vote Thursday on its version (SB-73).
