Senate Bill 206 amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding hunting regulations, specifically focusing on the colors that hunters must wear while hunting big game. The bill mandates that every person hunting big game, except for turkey, during designated gun hunts must wear outer garments of daylight fluorescent orange or daylight fluorescent pink. These garments must cover both the upper body and head, totaling a minimum of 500 square inches and being visible from both the front and back.
Additionally, the bill removes a subsection from the existing law, which may have previously outlined different requirements or exceptions. The changes are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of visibility for safety during hunting activities.
