County Government - As introduced, requires a local legislative body to approve the location of any quarry or digital asset mining facility in a public meeting. - Amends TCA Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 13 and Title 68.

SB 2053 requires county or city legislative bodies to publicly approve the location of new quarries or digital asset mining facilities (like large-scale cryptocurrency operations using over 1 megawatt of energy) before construction begins. It mandates a 21-day public notice period, including newspaper publication, website posting, and mailings to residents within 500 yards of the proposed site. The bill directly affects local governments (counties/cities), developers seeking to build such facilities, and nearby residents who receive advance notice. It applies to all new projects approved on or after July 1, 2026, and does not change existing facility operations.
