House Bill 918 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to provide a temporary hunting license at no cost for veterans with any percentage of service-connected disability. This license is specifically for those participating in hunting experiences sponsored by not-for-profit organizations. The new provision stipulates that the temporary license will be valid for the duration of the hunting experience, but not exceeding seven days. Additionally, the executive director or their designee will accept a certification from the veterans' administration as evidence of the veteran's service-connected disability.

The bill aims to support disabled veterans by facilitating their participation in organized hunting events, thereby promoting inclusivity and recreational opportunities for this group. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that the necessary administrative processes can be established before implementation.
