HB 1138 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Safety - As introduced, requires a blasting firm that conducts a pre-blast survey for an owner or occupant of certain buildings within 300 feet of the blast hole to provide the survey upon request by the owner or occupant at no cost. - Amends TCA Title 68, Chapter 105.

HB 1138 requires blasting companies to provide pre-blast surveys to building owners or occupants within 300 feet of a blast site at no cost, upon request. This amendment to Tennessee law (TCA Title 68, Chapter 105) changes existing requirements to explicitly state that documentation must be provided "at no cost" to affected property owners. The bill directly affects property owners near blasting operations, ensuring they can access safety-related survey data without financial barriers. This policy change updates procedural obligations for blasting firms without altering safety standards or blast protocols.
