HB 1062 extends the deadline for Tennessee's Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) to publish notices of intent to appeal water quality decisions. Specifically, it changes the requirement from posting within three business days to five business days after receiving an appeal notice from the Board of Water Quality, Oil and Gas, or an administrative judge. This procedural change directly affects the DEC's administrative process for handling water-related appeals. The bill does not alter water quality standards or create new regulations, only adjusting the timeline for public notice of pending appeals. It applies to decisions under Tennessee Code Annotated Titles 4, 11, 66, 67, 68, and 69 related to water management.
