HB 918 - SB 1140
SUMMARY OF BILL: Requires the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency TWRA to issue
free temporary hunting licenses to veterans with any service-connected disability for hunts
sponsored and funded by not-for-profit organizations. Permits the license to remain valid for the
duration of the event, up to seven days, and requires TWRA to accept evidence of service-connected
disability a certification from the Veterans’ Administration.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• The proposed legislation applies only to veterans participating in not-for-profit-sponsored
hunts and does not replace annual licenses. It is assumed that issuance of the temporary
licenses will not significantly impact the number of annual licenses. Therefore, any impact
on TWRA revenue will be not significant.
• TWRA can verify eligibility and issue temporary licenses using existing resources and
personnel without additional costs.
CERTIFICATION:
The information contained herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
