  • Letter to the Tennessee Revisor of Statutes
    DocuSign Envelope ID: 429A8BA4-F3FD-4136-80B3-D2CE9E268985 Legal Clinic April 14, 2021 Ms. Paige Seals, Revisor of Statutes Office of Legal Services Tennessee General Assembly 9th Floor, Cordell Hull Building Nashville, TN 37243 Dear Ms. Seals: Public.Resource.Org (“Public Resource”) writes to respectfully request the Office of the Revisor and the Tennessee Code Commission (“TCC”) revise the Tennessee Code Annotated (“TCA”) to clarify that the TCA is in the public domain. The State of Tennessee currently claims copyright protection of the TCA. However, following the recent Supreme Court decision in Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org, Inc., the TCA is ineligible for such copyright protections.1 Thus, Public Resource also respectfully requests the removal of all indications of copyright protection from the TCA as such protection claims are obsolete.2 These changes are consistent with federal copyright law and with Tennessee’s policy of promoting public access to public government documents. Public Resource is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation working to increase citizens’ access to the law. Public Resource appreciates Tennessee’s dedication to improve government transparency through the Tennessee Public Records Act and the Tennessee Open Meetings Acts. However, the copyrights claimed for the Tennessee Code Annotated prevent the full realizations of these aims. Following the decision in Georgia, under the government edicts doctrine, government officials cannot, for copyright purposes, “author” works they create in their official capacity.3 The TCA and the annotations within are government edicts, authored by the TCC in its official capacity, and are therefore ineligible for copyright protection. 1 140 S.
