AI Summary

This bill modifies Tennessee's water quality administrative procedures by extending the timeframe for the department to publish a notice of intent to appeal a final order from three to five business days after receipt. Specifically, the bill amends Section 69-3-303 of the Tennessee Code, changing the existing requirement of "three (3) business days" to "five (5) business days" for posting such notices on the department's website.
