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.
SB 566 requires blasting companies to provide pre-blast survey results to building owners or occupants within 300 feet of a blast site at no cost, if requested. This directly affects property owners near construction or mining sites where blasting occurs. The bill amends Tennessee law (TCA Title 68, Chapter 105) to add the "no cost" provision to existing requirements for survey documentation. It focuses on ensuring transparency and reducing financial barriers for affected residents without altering blasting procedures themselves.
