Bill Summary
As introduced, repeals statutory requirements related to raccoon hunting, thereby permitting the Tennessee fish and wildlife commission to regulate such activities through proclamations and rules. - Amends TCA Title 70, Chapter 4.
AI Summary
This bill repeals existing state laws that specifically outline requirements for raccoon hunting, meaning that instead of these laws being written in the Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA), the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission, a state agency responsible for wildlife management, will now have the authority to set and change regulations for raccoon hunting through its own official proclamations and rules. This shift in authority is intended to allow for more flexible and responsive management of raccoon populations and hunting activities.
