SB 564 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Sewage - As enacted, makes revision to present law concerning sewerage systems using land application; exempts Hamilton County from the provisions requiring the developer of a subdivision or neighborhood that proposes to construct a treatment works to submit an application to the utility serving the area in which the system is located. - Amends TCA Title 7; Title 8; Title 9; Title 62, Chapter 2; Title 65; Title 68, Chapter 221 and Title 69.

SB 564 extends the appeal deadline for water and wastewater operators from 60 to 65 days when challenging revocation decisions or civil penalty assessments by the commissioner of environment and conservation. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 68-221-914(b) and related provisions in utility law to implement this change. It directly affects licensed water/wastewater operators who face disciplinary actions from the Board of Certification. This is a procedural adjustment with no new requirements or funding, simply increasing the timeframe for appeals.
