HB 2508 changes the deadline for clerks and masters in Tennessee to notify mineral interest owners. It extends the timeframe from 10 calendar days to 10 business days after receiving a complaint about abandoned mineral interests. This notice, sent by certified mail, informs owners their interest may expire if not claimed within 60 days of a required newspaper publication. The bill directly affects mineral interest owners in counties where such claims are filed, providing a more practical timeline for official communications.
