Senate Bill 130 and House Bill 175 propose an amendment to the Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Title 70, Chapter 4, Part 1, to allow the use of unmanned aircraft, including drones, for the purpose of locating and recovering deer that have been wounded during lawful hunting activities. The bill grants the commission the authority to create rules and proclamations regarding this use, ensuring that the regulations align with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation. This legislation aims to enhance hunting practices by providing hunters with a modern tool to assist in the recovery of wounded game, thereby promoting ethical hunting and wildlife management.
