Bill > SB0038

This bill, known as the Tennessee Waste Reduction and Recycling Act (TWRRA), makes a specific administrative change to the state's waste management reporting requirements. The primary modification is shifting the deadline for the Department of Environment and Conservation to make annual reporting forms and information available on their website from January 1st to January 10th each year. This small adjustment provides a slightly extended timeline for municipal solid waste regions to prepare and submit their annual reports. The bill is relatively straightforward, with just two substantive sections: one establishing its name and another amending the specific code section related to reporting deadlines. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as specified in the final section, with the stated justification that it serves the public welfare by potentially giving waste management entities a bit more time to compile their annual documentation.
