Bill > SB0862

This bill amends Tennessee law regarding metals recycling facilities by modifying the notice requirements for posting information about the transfer of dangerous materials. Specifically, the bill requires that the notice warning about the Class B misdemeanor of transferring dangerous materials without proper documentation must now be posted at each public entrance to the facility, instead of simply in a conspicuous location within the facility. A Class B misdemeanor in Tennessee is a less serious criminal offense that can typically result in fines and up to six months in jail. The change aims to make the warning more prominent and visible to anyone entering the metals recycling facility, potentially deterring illegal transfers of dangerous materials. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving facilities time to update their signage to comply with the new requirement.
