Tennessee Fish & Wildlife Commission - As enacted, authorizes the Tennessee wildlife resources agency to enter into license agreements for the operation of facilities on lands under the control or supervision of the agency for the improved utilization of state lands and facilities; clarifies that persons engaging in the business of propagating certain wildlife do not need to purchase a personal possession permit. - Amends TCA Title 70.
This bill allows the Tennessee wildlife agency to issue licenses for operating facilities like marinas, campsites, and restaurants on state-owned lands to better utilize those resources. The agency must first advertise for proposals and get approval from the state building commission and attorney general before granting these licenses, which can last up to three years and may be ended without cause. Additionally, the law clarifies that people who hold a permit to breed or raise wildlife do not need a separate personal possession permit. These changes aim to streamline how the state manages its natural resources and regulates wildlife-related businesses.
