House Bill 2113, also known as Senate Bill 2252, proposes to amend Tennessee Code Annotated by designating cast iron cookware as the official frontier cookware of the state. The bill highlights the cultural significance of cast iron cookware in Tennessee, emphasizing its role in family traditions, community recipes, and its alignment with modern consumer values such as being chemical-free, recyclable, and durable.

The new legal language added to the current law states that "Cast iron cookware is designated and adopted as the official frontier cookware of this state." This designation aims to honor the historical and practical importance of cast iron cookware in Tennessee as the state approaches its 250th anniversary. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, reflecting the public welfare's requirement for its immediate implementation.
