Senate Bill 725 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated related to scenic rivers. Notably, it adds a provision to Section 11-13-101(b) clarifying that the intent of the chapter is not to circumvent existing laws, zoning ordinances, or legal precedents concerning property rights, boundary expansions, or land acquisitions.

Additionally, the bill removes several subsections and sections from the code, specifically deleting Section 11-13-111(b) and Sections 68-211-118, 68-212-120, and 68-212-223. These deletions may streamline the regulations surrounding scenic rivers, although the specific implications of these removals are not detailed in the bill. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
