Bill > HB1138

This bill amends Tennessee's existing law regarding blasting procedures by requiring blasting firms to provide pre-blast survey documentation to property owners or occupants at no charge. Specifically, the bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 68-105-105(a), by adding the requirement that when a blasting firm conducts a pre-blast survey for buildings within 300 feet of a blast site, they must provide the survey documentation not only in a timely manner, but also without cost to the owner or occupant who requests it. Pre-blast surveys are typically detailed assessments of a property's condition before blasting activities begin, which help document any potential existing damage and protect both property owners and blasting companies. The bill aims to ensure transparency and reduce financial burden on property owners by mandating that these important documentation services are provided free of charge. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
