SUMMARY:

During the 2016 session of the Tennessee General Assembly, the public records act was revised.  A model policy has just been provided by the Office of Open Records Counsel that establishes best practices and a public records policy for local governments.  With the new policy, our current ordinance needs to be revised to coincide with the new policy.

The main revisions in the revised ordinance is to remove the actual charges for records, as they are covered in the policy.
