House Bill 205 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 11, Chapter 13, to designate specific segments of rivers in Hickman and Williamson Counties as "Class II Pastoral River Areas." The bill identifies five river segments: Beaverdam Creek, Duck River, Lick Creek, Piney River, and Swan Creek, detailing their starting and ending points within the counties. This addition aims to enhance the protection and recognition of these scenic waterways.

Additionally, the bill modifies Section 11-13-108(b)(1) by deleting the phrase "that segment of Duck River" and replacing it with "the segment of any river." This change broadens the language to apply to any river segment rather than being limited to Duck River. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of preserving Tennessee's natural resources.
