This bill just popped up in the TN General Assembly session for 2012:

http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/107/Bill/HB2670.pdf

If I interpret it corrrectly, it places a limitation on copying/reproducing HCP records to 15 per day by any one person, while allowing a larger compliation to be provided only if it is redacted of names, adresses and other identifying information. Response to LEO request for investigation or prosecution is not limited, but cannot be publically disclosed except as evidence.

Interesting. Seems to be an attempt to avoid the much-ballyhooed FOI arguments certain media types have promulgated in response to earlier efforts...a limit of 15 documents per day is reasonable, and in line with similar limitations one encounters in other FOI requests made of govt agencies. At the same time, it makes maintenance of a database like seen in West Tennessee bird cage liners an expensive and time-consuming effort...hate it for 'em.

Will be interesting to see if the House Speaker allows this one to progress...

Won't happen. Too many Politicians want access, so they can send out targeted "vote for me" letters, and requests for donations...

One would assume that any politician who wanted to avail themselves of that targeted group would need some bona fides to make it work. Don't think we really have any who could point to a record that would make the stamps worth the effort.

It got tried last round, and bore no fruit.

Most people are just to lazy to get involved, regardless of the stakes.
