Bill > SB0566

This bill amends Tennessee's existing law regarding blasting, specifically focusing on pre-blast surveys conducted near buildings. Currently, when a blasting firm conducts a survey within 300 feet of a blast hole, they are required to provide documentation in a timely manner. The bill modifies this requirement by adding that such documentation must be provided "at no cost to the owner or occupant" when requested. This means that property owners or residents who are near a blasting site can now obtain the pre-blast survey document free of charge, which could help them assess potential damage or changes to their property resulting from nearby blasting activities. The bill is a narrow, straightforward amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 68, Chapter 105, and will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
