Senate Bill 130 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to allow the use of unmanned aircraft, including drones, for the specific purpose of locating and recovering wounded deer during lawful hunting activities. The bill grants the commission the authority to create rules and proclamations regarding this practice, ensuring that it is regulated under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act.

The new section added to Title 70, Chapter 4, Part 1, emphasizes that the use of drones is strictly for the recovery of deer that have been wounded or are believed to be wounded. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, highlighting the state's commitment to enhancing hunting practices while ensuring the welfare of wildlife.
