Historical Sites and Preservation - As enacted, includes in the definition of a "memorial", for purposes of Tennessee heritage protection, an official governmental seal of a city or county government that contains imagery representative of any historic conflict, historic entity, historic event, historic figure, or historic organization. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 1, Part 4.

HB 1071 amends Tennessee law to expand the definition of "memorial" under heritage protection to explicitly include official city or county government seals that feature historic imagery. This change directly affects local governments whose seals depict historic conflicts, figures, events, or organizations, ensuring these seals qualify for the same preservation protections as other historical artifacts. The key provision replaces "artwork, flag" with "artwork, seal, flag" in the legal definition, broadening the scope of items covered under Tennessee heritage preservation statutes. The bill does not create new protections but clarifies that existing safeguards apply to these official seals.
