Senate Bill 1483 proposes the establishment of an Environmental Court within the General Sessions Court of Tipton County. The bill grants the judge of this court the authority to issue both mandatory and prohibitory injunctions in accordance with Rule 65 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. Additionally, the judge can order defendants found guilty of violating county ordinances related to health, housing, fire, land subdivision, building, or zoning to rectify such violations at their own expense. The bill also allows the judge to appoint a master to assist in these cases, governed by Rule 53 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure.

Furthermore, the Environmental Court will have jurisdiction over violations of municipal ordinances within Tipton County concerning the same areas. The judge is empowered to impose penalties for contempt on individuals who fail to comply with court orders to correct violations, with a maximum monetary penalty of $50 and up to 10 days of imprisonment for each violation. The bill stipulates that it will only take effect upon receiving a two-thirds vote from the legislative body of Tipton County and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable.
