SB1275 amends Tennessee law to require notification to property owners before filing a lien for abandoned mine land reclamation.
SB1275 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 59, Chapter 8, Part 3, concerning abandoned mine lands. The bill mandates that before filing a statement for a lien, the commissioner must notify the property owner of the proposed lien's creation, its amount, and the owner's ability to avoid the lien. A lien cannot be filed against a property owner who did not consent to, participate in, or control the mining operation necessitating reclamation, or if the owner pays the specified amount before the commissioner files the statement. The act takes effect upon becoming law.
