Tennessee Fish & Wildlife Commission - As enacted, authorizes the commission to promulgate rules or pass proclamations to authorize the use of drones to locate and retrieve deer that have been wounded by hunters. - Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 70.

HB 175 authorizes Tennessee's Fish & Wildlife Commission to create rules or issue proclamations allowing hunters to use drones solely for locating and recovering deer that have been wounded during lawful hunting. The bill amends Tennessee Code (Titles 39 and 70) to permit this drone use under commission oversight, requiring rules to follow standard administrative procedures. It directly affects hunters and the commission, restricting drone use to wounded-deer recovery during valid hunting activities. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not permit drones for general hunting or tracking.
