Bill Summary

As enacted, authorizes persons to wear daylight fluorescent pink as a substitute for daylight fluorescent orange when hunting big game during gun hunts; deletes statutory definition of daylight fluorescent orange. - Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 70.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee hunting regulations to allow hunters to wear daylight fluorescent pink instead of (or in addition to) daylight fluorescent orange when hunting big game during gun hunts. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to require hunters to wear at least 500 square inches of either daylight fluorescent orange or daylight fluorescent pink clothing on the upper body and head, ensuring the garments are visible from both the front and back. This change provides hunters with more flexibility in their hunting attire while maintaining safety requirements designed to make hunters more visible to other hunters in the field. The legislation will take effect on July 1, 2025, and removes the previous statutory definition of daylight fluorescent orange, effectively expanding the acceptable high-visibility color options for hunting gear.
