Game and Fish Laws - As enacted, extends the time within which the guardian for an adoptee who is less than 13 may apply for a lifetime sportsman license for adopted children from 36 months immediately following the adoption date to any time following the adoption that is prior to the adoptee's thirteenth birthday. - Amends TCA Title 70, Chapter 1, Part 5 and Section 70-2-201.

SB 297 amends Tennessee law to extend the deadline for guardians of adopted children under 13 to apply for a lifetime sportsman license. Previously, guardians had only 36 months after the adoption to apply, but this bill changes that to allow applications at any time before the child turns 13. The change simplifies the process for adoptive families by removing the strict 36-month deadline. This directly affects guardians of adopted children in Tennessee who wish to secure a lifetime sportsman license for their child.
