House Joint Resolution 192, sponsored by Lamberth, seeks to confirm the appointment of John McCarty to the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission. This commission, established under Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 70-1-201, consists of nine members appointed by the governor. Governor Bill Lee has nominated McCarty to represent the 9th district, with his term set to expire on February 28, 2031. McCarty, an Eagle Scout with a strong background in hunting and fishing, has experience managing projects for the Tennessee Department of Transportation and is the owner of McCarty Granberry Engineering. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Mississippi State University.
The resolution highlights McCarty's commitment to wildlife conservation and his passion for mentoring both young hunters and aspiring engineers. His extensive knowledge and dedication to the conservation of game animals, birds, and fish are seen as valuable assets to the commission. The confirmation process requires approval from the relevant committees in the House and Senate, as well as a joint resolution from the General Assembly. The resolution ultimately aims to solidify McCarty's role on the commission, contributing to the management and preservation of Tennessee's natural resources.
