Bill > HB1060

This bill amends Tennessee's licensing law by increasing the fees that county clerks and other authorized agents can collect when selling hunting and fishing licenses. Specifically, the bill raises the agent fee from $1.00 to $3.00 for annual licenses and from $0.50 to $3.00 for temporary or day-specific licenses. The law also allows the executive director of the relevant agency to establish alternative agent fees through competitive bidding for licenses sold over the telephone or through electronic means. This change provides county clerks and designated agents with a higher compensation for selling hunting and fishing licenses, potentially offsetting administrative costs associated with license sales. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, and its purpose appears to be to provide fair compensation to agents who sell these recreational licenses.
