AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 68-211-843, to require the state department (likely the Department of Environment and Conservation) to make a catalog of materials related to source reduction and recycling publicly available on its website. The bill adds a simple mandate that the department must post this existing catalog online, making it more accessible to the public. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by increasing transparency and ease of access to information about waste reduction and recycling materials. While the bill is relatively straightforward, it represents a small but potentially useful step in promoting environmental awareness and providing citizens with easier access to recycling and waste reduction resources.
