HB 394, introduced in Tennessee (but later withdrawn on February 3, 2025), required the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation to post annual progress reports submitted by municipal solid waste regions on its website in a publicly accessible format. The bill specifically amended Tennessee Code Section 68-211-814 to mandate this online availability of the reports. This change directly affected local waste management regions that submit these reports and aimed to increase public access to waste management data. The bill did not alter waste management practices or funding but focused solely on transparency through public reporting. As it was withdrawn, the requirement was never enacted into law.
