Senate Bill 1615 proposes to officially designate Lake County as the "Eagle Capital of Tennessee." This designation recognizes the area's significance as a habitat for eagles, highlighting its role in supporting a thriving ecosystem and attracting eagle enthusiasts. The bill notes the annual Reelfoot Lake Eagle Festival, which draws bird watchers and contributes to the local economy through tourism related to eagle watching and photography.

The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 3, by adding a new section that states, "Lake County is designated as the Eagle Capital of Tennessee." This new legal language emphasizes the importance of eagles in the region and aims to promote Lake County as a destination for eagle-related activities. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, prioritizing the public welfare.
