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 its existing catalog of materials related to source reduction and recycling publicly available on the department's official website. The bill is relatively straightforward, adding a transparency requirement to ensure that information about waste reduction and recycling resources is easily accessible to Tennessee residents. The legislation would take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by providing greater access to environmental information. While the bill appears simple, it represents a small but meaningful step towards increasing public awareness and engagement with waste management and recycling practices.
