AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's existing law regarding shooting ranges by updating the regulatory authority of the fish and wildlife commission. Specifically, the bill allows the commission to create rules and guidelines for operating sport shooting ranges, which is a slight modification from the previous term "firing ranges". The commission can now establish usage fees for these ranges and may enter into contracts for their operation and maintenance. Any fees collected from these ranges will be deposited into the wildlife resources fund. The bill clarifies that the Tennessee wildlife resources agency has the power to manage these ranges and set appropriate fees, with a particular focus on ranges that were in operation before July 1, 1998. The legislation will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing ample time for implementation and preparation by the relevant state agencies.
