State Symbols - As enacted, designates Lake County as the "Eagle Capital of Tennessee." - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 3.

HB 1981 designates Lake County as the "Eagle Capital of Tennessee" to recognize its status as a major habitat for eagles, including over ninety nests and thousands of migrating birds, and its annual Reelfoot Lake Eagle Festival that drives tourism. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated to formally establish this designation in state law, without creating new regulations, funding, or obligations. This symbolic honor highlights Lake County's ecological significance and economic benefits from eagle-related tourism.
