Complete·4/29/25

Tennessee HB0918 provides free temporary hunting licenses to disabled veterans for hunts sponsored by nonprofits.

Tennessee HB0918 amends the state's hunting license laws to allow the executive director of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency to issue free temporary hunting licenses to veterans with service-connected disabilities. These licenses are for hunts sponsored and paid for by not-for-profit organizations. The license duration cannot exceed the length of the hunt or seven days. The executive director must accept a certification from the veterans' administration as proof of the disability. This change takes effect July 1, 2025.
