Bill Summary

As enacted, increases the fee that county clerks and other agents are authorized to collect from purchases of hunting and fishing licenses from $1.00 to $3.00 for annual licenses and $.50 to $3.00 for temporary licenses. - Amends TCA Section 70-2-106.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee law to increase the fee that county clerks and other authorized agents can collect when selling hunting and fishing licenses. Previously, agents could collect $1.00 for annual licenses and $0.50 for temporary licenses. The new law raises both of these fees to a flat rate of $3.00 per license, regardless of whether it's an annual or temporary license. The bill also provides an alternative method for the executive director to establish agent fees through competitive bidding for licenses sold via telephone or electronic means. This change allows county clerks and designated agents to receive a higher compensation for selling hunting and fishing licenses, potentially helping to offset administrative costs. The legislation takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
