Freedom of information legislation (Tennessee)

The Tennessee Open Records Act is a law that states that any citizen of Tennessee may request public records there. Public documents shall "be open for personal inspection by any citizen of Tennessee." However, recent federal court rulings have overturned similar state specific statutes and open up records in these states to all U.S. citizens.[1]
