House Bill 1753 and Senate Bill 2004 propose amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated regarding emergency response procedures. The bill specifically modifies Section 58-8-111(g) by deleting the existing language and replacing it with new provisions that require the responding party to send an itemized invoice for reimbursable costs to the requesting party within sixty days after assistance has concluded. Additionally, the responding party is allowed to request an extension for submitting the invoice if there are extenuating circumstances.

The bill emphasizes the importance of timely communication and accountability in the reimbursement process for emergency response costs. It aims to streamline the invoicing procedure while providing flexibility for responding parties who may face unforeseen delays. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency in supporting effective emergency management practices.
