2021 Tennessee Code|Title 68 - Health, Safety and Environmental Protection|Chapter 201 - Tennessee Air Quality Act|Part 1 - Tennessee Air Quality Act|§ 68-201-117. Levy of Noncompliance and Nonpayment Penalties — Suit for Collection or Assessment of Penalty

 The technical secretary, the board, and within their respective jurisdictions, the local pollution control programs operating under a certificate of exemption pursuant to § 68-201-115 are authorized to levy noncompliance and nonpayment penalties after appropriate notice and hearing, against any air contaminant source not in final compliance with the applicable Tennessee air pollution control regulations by July 1, 1979. The technical secretary, the board, and the duly exempted local pollution control programs are specifically authorized to accept enforcement responsibility for these civil penalties from the United States environmental protection agency. These penalties are to be equivalent to the economic value a person may realize by a delay in compliance beyond July 1, 1979, including the amount it would have cost the person to comply with all applicable air pollution control regulations had the person chosen to do so. The board shall promulgate regulations specifying the procedures to be used in calculating the penalty and providing for quarterly payment of annualized cost. The technical secretary, the board, and the duly exempted local pollution control programs shall consider the matters in § 120 of the federal Clean Air Act, codified in 42 U.S.C. § 7420, in their actions. The commissioner, the board, and the duly exempted local pollution control programs are also authorized to file suit for the assessment of the penalties as part of any other civil action brought under this part. The commissioner, the board, and the duly exempted local pollution control programs are authorized to file suit for collection or assessment of the civil penalty, along with other equitable relief pursuant to § 68-201-111 in the chancery courts of the county where the pollution is occurring or where the violator or polluter is doing business. The chancery court shall treat a failure to appeal a civil penalty assessment as a confession of judgment by the polluter or violator to the amount of the assessment; and the court is authorized to render judgment and provide for execution of such civil penalties. Such actions for civil penalties shall be triable without a jury.

2021 Tennessee Code|Title 68 - Health, Safety and Environmental Protection|Chapter 201 - Tennessee Air Quality Act|Part 1 - Tennessee Air Quality Act|§ 68-201-119. Rules Regarding Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program. [See Contingent Amendment and the Compiler’s notes.]

  The Tennessee air pollution control board shall promulgate rules that:  Specify the type of vehicle inspection and maintenance program to be established and implemented; and   Establish that the inspection associated with the vehicle inspection and maintenance program will occur on an annual basis in connection with vehicle registration renewal.  [Contingent effective date. See Compiler's Notes.]       Notwithstanding subsection (a) or any other law to the contrary, no inspection and maintenance program shall be employed in this state on or after the effective date of this subsection (b) [see Compiler's Notes], except in accordance with subsection (c).   If at any time under the federal Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401 et seq.) an inspection and maintenance program is mandated instead of available as a voluntary state implementation plan measure in any county of this state, then subdivision (b)(1) shall not apply in that county.     An inspection and maintenance program may be employed in a county that, on May 15, 2018, has a local air pollution control program and implements its own inspection and maintenance program, if the county authorizes the continuation of its own inspection and maintenance program by action of its governing body; provided, that in order to authorize the continuation of the inspection and maintenance program, the governing body must authorize the continuation within thirty (30) days of May 15, 2018, and the presiding officer of the county governing body must furnish a certified copy of the approved resolution to the technical secretary of the air pollution control board within sixty (60) days of May 15, 2018.   Any new contract between the department or a local government and a contractor providing inspection services, any new contract between a local government and the department relative to the inspection and maintenance program, and any renewals of such contracts occurring after May 15, 2018, shall include a provision stating that the contract must conform to any changes in state law. Any existing contracts as described in this section shall be amended to include a provision stating that the contract must conform to any changes in state law.
