History: Laws 1933, ch. 153, § 27; 1941 Comp., § 67-503; 1953 Comp., § 63-5-3; Laws 1989, ch. 193, § 10.

The 1989 amendment, effective July 1, 1989, added the catchline and substituted all of the language beginning with "written request" for "the mine inspector's written request, furnish any reasonable information or data desired by the mine inspector".

Inspector may require notice before reactivation of mine. Under this section, the inspector could require that the operator or owner of a mine that is proposed to be reactivated give notice of the contemplated reactivation with such other information as inspector might desire. Under this statute inspector could promulgate a regulation requiring that notice of this type be given a reasonable time prior to the reactivation by the mine owners or operators so that inspector could plan inspections accordingly. 1956 Op.
