Real Property - As introduced, increases, from 10 days to 10 business days, the time that a clerk and master has to send by certified mail a copy of the notice that the clerk and master has received a complaint of claim of abandoned mineral interest identifying the recipient as the owner of the mineral interest and that the interest will lapse in 60 days after publication of the complaint once a week for three consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the mineral interest is located. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 12; Title 13; Title 29; Title 54; Title 55; Title 59; Title 60; Title 66 and Title 68.

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.
