SB 323 allows the Tennessee Fish & Wildlife Commission to name real property, infrastructure, or features under its jurisdiction - such as parks, trails, or facilities - without requiring additional legislative approval. It amends Tennessee Code Sections 3-2-112, 4-1-412, and Title 70, Chapter 1, Part 2 to formally grant this naming authority. The bill became law on April 4, 2025, after passing the legislature and being signed into public chapter 141. This procedural change directly affects the Commission’s administrative authority over its managed properties.
