Water - As enacted, authorizes municipal water and sewer systems to undertake certain projects on private property. - Amends TCA Title 7; Title 63; Title 65; Title 68 and Title 69.

HB 1259 increases the required advance notice period for meetings of the Tennessee Board of Water Quality, Oil, and Gas from five to seven days. This change applies to all regular and special meetings, requiring the board members to be notified at least seven days in advance instead of the current five days. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee law (Titles 7, 63, 65, 68, and 69) to update this procedural requirement. The change is purely administrative and does not affect the board’s substantive duties or decision-making processes.
