SB 2173 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Tennessee Fish & Wildlife Commission - As enacted, establishes a statutory schedule of permit fees for the operation of off highway vehicles at North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area. - Amends TCA Title 70, Chapter 9.

SB 2173 requires the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's executive director to post a list of off-highway vehicle (OHV) areas on the Tennessee Fish & Wildlife Commission's website. The list must include each area's acreage and estimated trail length. This bill directly affects OHV users and the agency by making location and trail information publicly accessible online. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 70, Chapter 9, to standardize this disclosure without changing OHV usage rules. The bill is pending in the Senate Energy, Agriculture, and Natural Resources Committee.
