Bill Summary
As enacted, extends the time within which the guardian for an adoptee who is less than 13 may apply for a lifetime sportsman license for adopted children from 36 months immediately following the adoption date to any time following the adoption that is prior to the adoptee's thirteenth birthday. - Amends TCA Title 70, Chapter 1, Part 5 and Section 70-2-201.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law to modify the timeframe for guardians of adopted children to purchase a lifetime sportsman license. Previously, guardians had to apply for the license within 36 months immediately following the adoption date. The new legislation removes this 36-month time restriction, allowing guardians to purchase the lifetime sportsman license for an adopted child at any point before the child turns 13 years old. This change provides more flexibility for adoptive families in obtaining a lifetime hunting and fishing license, potentially making it easier for parents to help their adopted children participate in outdoor recreational activities. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in the legislation's second section.
