Senate Bill 2369 amends Tennessee law to allow local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools to offer a hunter education course to students in grades five through twelve as part of their physical education, health, or safety instruction. The bill stipulates that any hunter education course provided under this new provision must receive approval from the wildlife resources agency in accordance with existing regulations.
This legislation aims to enhance students' knowledge and skills related to hunting safety and wildlife conservation, thereby promoting responsible outdoor activities among youth. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
