Senate Bill 236 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 70-4-107, specifically addressing the process for game and fish proclamations. The bill deletes the existing subdivision (3) and replaces it with new language that stipulates that proclamations will become effective thirty days after being filed with the secretary of state. Additionally, it allows for the summation of seasons to be closed, reopened, or extended during emergency conditions. Furthermore, it mandates that a copy of all proclamations issued by the commission must be immediately filed with the secretary of state and made available on the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency website.

The act is designed to streamline the process for game and fish management in Tennessee, ensuring that proclamations are timely and accessible to the public. It takes effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in the management of wildlife resources.
