Summary
The bill amends Tennessee’s public‑records law to require that the identities of companies and personnel who provide, compound, or distribute lethal‑injection drugs, as well as the payments they receive, be open to public inspection. It still keeps the names of the officers who actually carry out a death sentence and the personal contact details of supplier staff confidential. The change is intended to increase transparency around the death‑penalty process.
