House Bill 1827, also known as Senate Bill 2053, amends the Tennessee Code to establish new requirements for the approval of quarry and digital asset mining facilities by local governments. Specifically, it mandates that before any such facility can be located in a county or city, the local legislative body must hold a public meeting to approve the location. The bill stipulates that at least twenty-one days' notice must be provided for this meeting, which includes publication in a local newspaper, posting on the official website, and notifications to residents within 500 yards of the proposed site.

The bill defines a "digital asset mining facility" as a site with computers consuming over one megawatt of energy for blockchain protocol security, and a "quarry" as the extraction and processing of various minerals, excluding coal and deep metal mining. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, and will apply to any proposed facilities constructed on or after that date.
