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.

SB 1857 would allow Tennessee public school districts and charter schools to integrate approved hunter education courses into physical education, health, or safety classes for students in grades 5 through 12. The courses must be certified by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency to meet state hunter safety standards. This amendment to Tennessee law (amending Titles 49 and 70) directly affects schools and students in grades 5-12 by expanding curriculum options with a focus on outdoor safety. The bill takes effect upon becoming law.
