Two Pro-Sportsmen Bills Complete the Legislative Process and Head to the Governor

By Editorial Team

Good news in Tennessee as two pro-sportsmen bills have completed the legislative process and are now headed to Governor Lee for consideration. SB 350, which protects sportsmen from being evicted for having a firearm in their leased property, has already been signed into law. Meanwhile, SB 1554 and SB 2028 are awaiting the Governor’s decision.

Legislative Timeline for SB 1554 and SB 2028

Governor Lee has ten days to sign or veto a bill. If no action is taken within this period, the bill automatically becomes law. This is seen as a significant victory for Tennessee sportsmen. Advocates are urging the Governor to sign these bills to protect the state’s heritage.

Details of the Bills

SB 1554: This bill extends the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission through June 30, 2030, ensuring the preservation of natural resources for the future.

SB 2028: This bill prohibits local governments from regulating the “manner and means” of hunting, emphasizing that the authority to regulate hunting practices lies with the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).

Take Action

Sportsmen and supporters are encouraged to email Governor Lee to express their support for SB 1554 and SB 2028. It is emphasized that active participation is crucial in safeguarding the interests of hunters and anglers in Tennessee.

Advocates stress the importance of engaging in the protection of hunting, fishing, and trapping activities, highlighting the need for collective action to combat challenges posed by animal extremism and gun control activism.

The Sportsmen’s Alliance remains committed to defending the rights of individual hunters, anglers, and trappers, pledging unwavering support in legal battles and legislative matters to secure the future of sportsmen in America.
