Senate Bill 2238, also known as the "Hunting for Heroes Act," amends Tennessee Code Annotated to establish a Tennessee national guard sportsman license. This new license is designed for members of the Tennessee National Guard in good standing, allowing them to qualify for a no-cost sportsman license similar to that of a resident annual sportsman license. The bill outlines the requirements for obtaining this license, including the necessity for a valid United States military identification card and verification of Tennessee National Guard membership through the adjutant general.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the costs associated with the Tennessee national guard sportsman license will be covered by the state general fund, rather than the wildlife resources fund. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the legislative intent to support members of the National Guard in their recreational pursuits.
