Senate Bill 1615, also known as House Bill 1981, proposes to amend Tennessee Code Annotated by designating 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 and the presence of over ninety eagle nests, which draw bird watchers and contribute to the local economy through tourism and related activities.

The new legal language added to the current law states, "Lake County is designated as the Eagle Capital of Tennessee." This act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of eagles in the region and the community's efforts to promote wildlife conservation and tourism.
