Mining and Quarrying - As enacted, revises certain requirements to file liens for the reclamation of abandoned coal mining lands. - Amends TCA Title 59, Chapter 8, Part 3.

HB 123 revises Tennessee's process for filing liens against property owners to cover reclamation costs for abandoned coal mining lands. It requires the commissioner to notify property owners of proposed liens, amounts, and their right to avoid liens before filing. Property owners who did not consent to or control the mining operation, or who pay the lien amount before filing, cannot have liens placed against their property. This directly affects landowners whose properties were used for mining but who were not involved in the operations. The bill updates Section 59-8-302 of Tennessee Code to make the lien process more transparent and provide clear pathways for owners to avoid financial liability.
