Amends TCA Title 70.
Tennessee SB0869 amends existing wildlife hunting regulations by allowing the use of bait specifically for hunting whitetail deer on privately owned or leased lands, provided hunters possess a valid bait privilege license. The bill establishes a fee structure for the license, set at $50 for residents and $100 for non-residents, and requires all hunters in a party to have the license when hunting over bait. Additionally, the bill authorizes the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) to manage baiting practices and implement rules to prevent wildlife disease spread.
