Highways, Roads and Bridges - As enacted, lifts certain restrictions on temporary borrow pits used to source material for a road work construction project performed in a FEMA-certified county under a contract for construction work entered into with the state that is part of a state or local Hurricane Helene recovery effort. - Amends TCA Title 54, Chapter 1.

SB 915 removes existing restrictions on temporary excavation sites ("borrow pits") used for road construction in counties certified by FEMA for Hurricane Helene recovery (specifically counties declared disaster areas between September 26-October 3, 2024). It applies only to state-contracted road projects directly supporting Hurricane Helene recovery efforts in those counties. The bill amends Tennessee law to exempt such temporary pits from standard rules governing borrow pit use during these recovery projects. This change allows faster sourcing of construction materials for road repairs without requiring additional permits.
