To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Tennessee Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

I am requesting copies of public records regarding the public funding of commercial drivers' license training programs from 01/01/2018 to 12/31/2022. These programs are designed to prepare students to meet the qualifications to become a qualified entry-level commercial truck driver. These funds may be directed towards community colleges, private CDL schools, technical colleges, etc.

Specifically, I request information regarding the following:
- Budget documents for the full date range noted above, including planning documents, proposals, and research reports
- Spending reports

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Kent Hoover, a citizen of Tennessee, in coordination with Rachel Premack.

This office is in receipt of your request for records. §T.C.A. 10-7-503(a)(2)(A) makes public records available to citizens of the state of Tennessee. The same act permits the records custodian to require photo identification, issued by a governmental entity that includes the person's address. This enables the record custodian to confirm the requestor's status as a citizen of Tennessee.

Please provide a copy of the photo identification meeting the criteria listed above to document your status as a citizen of Tennessee, and I will process your open records request as quickly as possible upon receipt.

If an adequate response is not received within 14 days, your request will be closed.
