Bill Summary
As enacted, lifts certain restrictions on temporary borrow pits used to source material for a road work construction project performed in a FEMA-certified county under a contract for construction work entered into with the state that is part of a state or local Hurricane Helene recovery effort. - Amends TCA Title 54, Chapter 1.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to provide a temporary exemption for borrow pits (areas where earth materials are extracted, typically for construction projects) in counties certified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in response to Hurricane Helene recovery efforts. Specifically, the bill suspends certain existing restrictions on borrow pits for road work construction projects in FEMA-certified counties that have a state contract related to Hurricane Helene recovery. The exemption applies to counties included in a FEMA disaster declaration made between September 26 and October 3, 2024, and will remain in effect until June 30, 2039. This targeted, time-limited provision allows more flexibility for road construction and recovery efforts in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene, temporarily waiving typical regulatory constraints on borrow pit usage to facilitate infrastructure repair and reconstruction.
