AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to reduce the reporting period for injuries caused by captive wildlife that require medical attention. Previously, individuals had 48 hours to report such incidents to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), but this bill shortens that timeframe to 24 hours, meaning the report must be made within one day of the injury. This change applies to laws found in Titles 39, 44, and 70 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, which cover various aspects of wildlife and animal regulations, and the new reporting requirement will go into effect on July 1, 2026.
