HB 1266 requires metals recycling facilities in Tennessee to post a visible notice at **every public entrance** (not just a general location) informing sellers that they must obtain a signed written acknowledgment before transferring dangerous materials. This affects facilities that accept metals from the public, specifically ensuring sellers are notified about the requirement for written confirmation. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 39-17-1403 and related chapters to update the posting location requirement. It takes effect July 1, 2025, and is a procedural change to existing criminal law.
