Summary

The bill changes Tennessee law so that a data controller has up to 65 days—not 60—to reply in writing to a consumer who appeals a refusal to act on a data‑privacy request. It applies to any organization that processes personal information under the state’s Information Protection Act. The extra five days gives controllers more time to investigate and explain their decisions to consumers.
