Criminal Offenses - As introduced, requires notice of the Class B misdemeanor of transferring dangerous materials to a metals recycling facility without first obtaining a signed written acknowledgment that the item has been transferred to be posted in a conspicuous location at each public entrance to the facility. - Amends TCA Title 36, Chapter 3, Part 6; Title 39; Title 40 and Title 55.

SB 862 requires metals recycling facilities in Tennessee to post a visible notice about transferring dangerous materials at every public entrance, rather than just in a general conspicuous location. This change directly affects all metals recycling facilities that accept materials from the public. The bill amends Tennessee Code § 39-17-1403 to specify that the notice must be readily visible to individuals selling materials at each entrance. The law will take effect on July 1, 2025, if passed.
