Tennessee has enacted the Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA), making it the latest state in the U.S. to implement comprehensive data privacy regulation. The legislation was unanimously passed by the State General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Bill Lee on May 11, 2023, with an effective date of July 1, 2025.

While TIPA includes many standard provisions found in several state data privacy laws across the US, it distinguishes itself by emphasizing an affirmative defense for organizations adhering to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) privacy framework.

Additionally, TIPA allows Tennessee courts to impose treble damages for willful or knowing violations, making it stricter in some aspects compared to similar laws in Virginia and Indiana.
