AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Section 44-8-106(b) to change the required notice period before a property owner can sell livestock that has committed trespass on their property to satisfy a judgment for damages. Previously, ten calendar days' notice was required, but this bill changes that to ten *business* days, meaning days when courts are typically open and business is conducted, excluding weekends and holidays. This change provides a clearer and potentially longer timeframe for the owner to provide notice before selling the trespassing livestock to cover the costs of the damage they caused.
