AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 68-221-914(b), specifically extending the appeal period for parties involved in hearings before the board of certification for water and wastewater operators. Currently, parties have 60 days to appeal an order or assessment of a civil penalty by the commissioner of environment and conservation, and this bill increases that window to 65 days. The change provides a slightly longer timeframe for individuals or organizations to challenge decisions related to water and wastewater operator certifications, potentially giving parties more time to prepare and file their appeals. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, which indicates the legislative determination that the public welfare requires this change.
