Bill > HB1063

This bill amends Tennessee's wildlife resources law by changing the deadline for an annual reporting requirement. Specifically, the bill shifts the deadline for the wildlife resources agency to submit a comprehensive report to legislative committees from January 1 to January 15 each year. The required report must detail the acreage of land managed by the agency that was closed to recreational hunting and fishing during the previous fiscal year, including the reasons for those closures. The report must also include information about any acreage reopened to recreational hunting and fishing to compensate for closed areas, as well as the estimated acreage of new public hunting and fishing lands added. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing the wildlife agency with additional time to compile and submit its annual land management report to the relevant legislative committees.
