Bill > SB0278

This bill amends Tennessee's scenic rivers classification by designating specific segments of several rivers and creeks in Hickman, Williamson, and Dickson Counties as "Class II Pastoral River Areas". These newly designated waterways include Beaverdam Creek (from its confluence with Brush Fork and Piney Fork to its confluence with Duck River), the entire Duck River segment within Hickman County, Lick Creek (from the confluence of its North and South Forks to its confluence with Duck River), Piney River (from the confluence of its West and East branches to its confluence with Duck River), and Swan Creek (from its confluence with Dry Branch to its confluence with Duck River). Additionally, the bill modifies existing language to broaden the scope of river segment classifications, replacing a specific reference to the "Duck River" with a more general "segment of any river". The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the state legislature citing public welfare as the justification for its swift implementation.
