House Bill 161 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 62-9-114(b), by changing the notification period for a dealer's right to a hearing from "ten (10) days" to "twelve (12) days." This adjustment aims to provide additional time for dealers to respond to notifications, thereby enhancing their rights within the scrap metal industry.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2023, and will apply to all notifications issued on or after that date. This change reflects a legislative effort to improve the regulatory framework governing the scrap metal industry in Tennessee.
