- What it is
- A law firm's June 2024 summary of Tennessee's ELVIS Act before it took effect. It describes the act's voice coverage, its civil remedies and its criminal penalty.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by lawyers who advise clients on privacy law, so it is a secondary reading of the statute, not the statute itself. It is dated June 2024, before the act took effect, so it describes the law as enacted rather than as later amended or interpreted by courts.
