HB 2588 allows Tennessee public schools and charter schools to offer approved hunter education courses to students in grades 5-12 as part of existing physical education, health, or safety classes. The bill requires these courses to be approved by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, aligning with existing hunter safety standards. It directly affects school districts, students in grades 5-12, and the wildlife agency, integrating hunter safety into standard school curricula. The legislation modifies state education codes to enable this integration without creating new requirements for schools.
