Mining and Quarrying - As enacted, revises certain requirements to file liens for the reclamation of abandoned coal mining lands. - Amends TCA Title 59, Chapter 8, Part 3.

SB 1275 revises Tennessee's process for filing liens to cover reclamation costs on abandoned coal mining lands. It requires the commissioner to notify property owners before filing a lien, explaining the lien amount and their options to avoid it. Property owners who did not consent to or control the mining operation, or who pay the lien amount before filing, cannot be subject to the lien. The bill directly affects landowners near abandoned mines who may have no connection to the original mining activity. These changes aim to prevent liens from being placed on unrelated property owners while ensuring reclamation costs are covered.
