HB 2067 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education, Curriculum - As introduced, authorizes LEAs and public charter schools to offer students in any of the grades five through 12 a hunter education course that is approved by the wildlife resources agency as part of physical education, health, or safety instruction. - Amends TCA Title 49 and Title 70, Chapter 2, Part 1.

HB 2067 would allow Tennessee public schools and charter schools to include approved hunter education courses as part of physical education, health, or safety classes for students in grades 5 through 12. The bill requires these courses to be certified by the state wildlife resources agency, aligning with existing hunter safety standards. It directly affects schools and students in those grades by expanding optional curriculum options without mandating participation. The policy change aims to integrate safety education into existing school programs, with no additional funding or structural changes specified.
