House Bill 567 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to officially designate certain foods as state symbols. Specifically, it establishes "hot slaw," "Memphis barbecue," and "Nashville hot chicken" as the official state foods of Tennessee by replacing the existing language in Section 4-1-345. Additionally, the bill removes Section 4-1-349 entirely from the code.

The act clarifies that the headings included in the bill are for reference purposes only and do not form part of the enacted law. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of these culinary traditions to the state's identity.
