TN HB0689

Authorizes court clerks in Tennessee counties with populations of 366,200 or more (per 2020 census) to implement automatic expungement processing programs

Allows expungement of eligible records without requiring a petition from the person, certification, or court order for those entitled to no-cost expungement

Requires other agencies and officials to treat clerk-issued expungement notices the same as court-ordered expungements

Mandates court clerks maintain confidential records of automatic expungements, accessible only to the affected person, law enforcement, courts, and government agencies performing official functions

Provides court clerks immunity from liability for errors or omissions under the automatic expungement program and removes obligation for continued program maintenance
