Senate Bill 1725 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 69, Chapter 9, by introducing new regulations regarding the moorage of recreational vessels. The bill prohibits operators from mooring their vessels for more than fourteen consecutive days at any single location along the water's edge of a reservoir or within one mile of it. Additionally, it restricts temporary moorage within primary or secondary navigation channels of the Tennessee River system and prohibits the placement of mooring lines that obstruct boating access to any part of a reservoir. Violations of these provisions are classified as Class C misdemeanors. However, an exception is made for vessels that have obtained a permit for permanent or extended mooring under federal law.

The bill also defines key terms related to the regulations, including "moor," "recreational vessel," "reservoir," and "Tennessee River system." The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of maintaining navigable waterways and ensuring public access to recreational areas.
