House Bill 1753, sponsored by Howell, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding emergency response procedures. The bill specifically revises Section 58-8-111(g) by deleting the existing language and replacing it with new provisions. Under the new language, the responding party is required to send an itemized invoice for reimbursable costs to the requesting party within sixty (60) days after the assistance has concluded. Additionally, the responding party is allowed to request an extension for submitting the invoice if there are extenuating circumstances.

This legislation aims to streamline the invoicing process for emergency response costs, ensuring that parties involved in such situations have clear guidelines on the timeline for reimbursement. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of timely financial accountability in emergency response scenarios.
