Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-07-01-.01 - PURPOSE AND SCOPE
(1) Pursuant to
Tenn. Code Ann. §
10-7-503(g),
the following Public Records Rules for Tennessee Housing Development Agency
("THDA") are hereby adopted to provide economical and efficient access to
public records as provided under the Tennessee Public Records Act
("TPRA").
(2) The TPRA provides
that all state, county and municipal records shall, at all times during
business hours, be open for personal inspection by any citizen of this state,
and those in charge of the records shall not refuse such right of inspection to
any citizen, unless otherwise provided by state law. Accordingly, the public
records of THDA are presumed to be open for inspection unless otherwise
provided by law.
(3) Personnel of
THDA, through the THDA Public Records Request Coordinator identified in this
Rule below, shall timely and efficiently provide access and assistance to
persons requesting to view or receive copies of public records. No provisions
of this Rule shall be used to hinder access to open public records. However,
the integrity and organization of public records, as well as the efficient and
safe operation of THDA, shall be protected as provided by current law. Concerns
about this Policy should be addressed to the Public Records Request Coordinator
for THDA or to the Tennessee Office of Open Records Counsel ("OORC").
