Senate Bill 297 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 70-2-201(h)(1), to remove the requirement that adopted children must obtain a lifetime sportsman license "within thirty-six (36) months immediately." This change aims to provide greater flexibility for adopted children in acquiring their lifetime sportsman licenses, potentially making it easier for families to navigate the licensing process.

The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its enactment. By eliminating the time constraint, the legislation seeks to support adopted children and their families in enjoying outdoor recreational activities without the pressure of a strict timeline.
