AI Summary
This bill, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated Section 66-5-108(e)(3), changes the timeframe for a clerk and master, who is an officer of the court responsible for managing court funds and records, to send a certified mail copy of a notice regarding a claim of abandoned mineral interest. Previously, this notice had to be sent within ten (10) days after receiving the complaint; this bill extends that period to ten (10) business days, meaning it excludes weekends and holidays. This notice informs the owner of the mineral interest that their rights could lapse if the complaint is published once a week for three consecutive weeks in a local newspaper and no action is taken within 60 days of that publication. The bill also amends several other titles of Tennessee Code Annotated, though the specific changes within those titles are not detailed in the provided text.
