AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee's state code by officially designating Nashville as the "hot chicken capital of Tennessee." Specifically, the bill adds a new section to Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 3 of the Tennessee Code Annotated that legally recognizes Nashville's culinary significance for hot chicken, a spicy fried chicken dish that originated in the city. The bill includes standard legislative language specifying that the act's headings are for reference purposes only and that the law will take effect immediately upon becoming law. Hot chicken, a Nashville specialty characterized by its fiery seasoning and crispy coating, has become a nationally recognized culinary icon associated with the city, and this bill serves to formally acknowledge that cultural and gastronomic contribution through an official state designation.
