SB 1884 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Hazardous Materials - As enacted, makes various changes to the "Tennessee Drycleaner's Environmental Response Act." - Amends TCA Title 68, Chapter 217, Part 1.

SB 1884 amends Tennessee's Drycleaner's Environmental Response Act to clarify definitions and update the drycleaner environmental response fund program. It defines "recently abandoned" facilities (closed within 180 days) and expands "registered facility" to include abandoned sites, ensuring these qualify for fund access. The bill requires annual registration for all drycleaning facilities and wholesale distributors (including recently abandoned sites) to maintain eligibility for fund support covering cleanup costs. Key provisions include standardizing fund use for remediation, establishing site prioritization based on health/environmental risk, and requiring ongoing registration even after operations cease.
