AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to extend the timeframe for a clerk and master, who is a court official responsible for managing court records and funds, to notify an owner of a potential claim of abandoned mineral interest. Specifically, it changes the deadline from ten calendar days to ten business days after the clerk and master receives a complaint about an abandoned mineral interest. This notice informs the owner that their interest may lapse if it's not claimed within 60 days of a public announcement, which involves publishing the complaint in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks. The bill also makes conforming changes to various titles of the Tennessee Code Annotated, which are organized collections of the state's laws, to reflect this updated timeframe.
