Bill > HB0646

This bill amends Tennessee hunting regulations to allow hunters to wear daylight fluorescent pink clothing instead of the previously required daylight fluorescent orange when hunting big game during gun hunts. Specifically, the legislation modifies existing law to permit hunters to wear either daylight fluorescent orange or daylight fluorescent pink outer garments covering at least 500 square inches of the upper body and head, ensuring the clothing is visible from both the front and back. By removing the previous subsection defining daylight fluorescent orange, the bill effectively expands hunter clothing color options while maintaining the same safety visibility requirements. The purpose appears to be providing hunters with more choices in high-visibility hunting attire while preserving the core safety intent of making hunters more visible to prevent accidental shootings. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving hunters and hunting supply businesses advance notice of the new regulation.
