Game and Fish Laws - As introduced, requires, by January 15 of each year, the office of the governor to submit a report to legislative committees with subject matter jurisdiction over natural resources detailing all such lands and waters set apart and dedicated by the governor for wildlife preserves, including the limits fixed of the lands and waters for such state wildlife preserves. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 10; Title 11; Title 12; Title 43; Title 44; Title 55; Title 64; Title 67; Title 69 and Title 70.

SB 891 requires Tennessee's governor to submit an annual report by January 15 to relevant legislative committees. The report must detail all state lands and waters officially set aside as wildlife preserves, including their exact boundaries. This bill amends multiple sections of Tennessee law to establish this reporting requirement, which applies to the governor's office and legislative committees overseeing natural resources. It does not change wildlife management practices but ensures transparency about preserve locations and sizes.
