Weakley County - Subject to local approval, increases, from 15¢ to 20¢, the mineral severance tax in accordance with statutory guidelines. - Amends Chapter 270 of the Private Acts of 1982.

This Tennessee bill proposes increasing the mineral severance tax in Weakley County from 15 cents to 20 cents per ton on sand, gravel, clay, and other minerals extracted for commercial use. The tax applies to all minerals removed from the ground within the county, regardless of where they are processed or sold, and becomes a lien on the extracted materials and the miner's property. However, the change will only take effect if Weakley County's legislative body approves it with a two-thirds vote, giving the local government final say on whether to adopt the higher rate.
