HJR 212 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Memorials, Recognition - Sportfish Restoration Program, 75th anniversary -

This is a ceremonial resolution (HJR 212), not a law with policy changes. It commemorates the 75th anniversary of the federal Sport Fish Restoration Program (established by the 1950 Sport Fish Restoration Act), which funds fishing conservation through excise taxes on fishing gear and boat fuels. The resolution honors anglers, the sportfishing industry, state wildlife agencies, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for their role in the "American System of Conservation Funding." It directs certified copies to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, Tennessee's congressional delegation, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
