What it requires

Confirm TIPA's applicability thresholds and sector exemptions reach your business before assuming coverage or exemption either way.
Use July 1, 2025 as TIPA's general effective date, not July 1, 2024. An earlier engrossed print of the enacting bill carried the 2024 date, but the final signed Public Chapter moved it to 2025.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

TIPA governs private-sector processing of Tennessee residents' personal information, enacted as House Bill 1181, Public Chapter 408 of the 113th General Assembly. The bill passed the House April 21, 2023 and was approved by the Governor in May 2023; a floor amendment moved the general effective date from an engrossed print's July 1, 2024 to the signed Public Chapter's July 1, 2025, which the Secretary of State's official publication confirms as authoritative.

A separate data protection impact assessment look-back date, July 1, 2024, is unaffected by the general effective-date correction.
