SB 2369 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education, Curriculum - As enacted, 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 2369 would allow Tennessee public schools and charter schools to offer approved hunter education courses to students in grades 5 through 12 as part of existing physical education, health, or safety classes. The courses must be approved by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, aligning with existing hunter education standards. This bill does not change the content of the hunter education curriculum but provides a mechanism for schools to integrate it into current class structures. It directly affects students in grades 5-12 and school districts that choose to implement the program.
