Lawmakers ask whether Tennessee could adopt a multi‑site OHV pass
Summary
During consideration of House Bill 2091, members asked TWRA whether a statewide permit or a single pass covering multiple Wildlife Management Areas—similar to a sportsman license—could be possible, and requested agency follow‑up.
Committee members explored whether the North Cumberland effort could become a model for a broader program. Chairman Grills (speaker S7) asked if TWRA had considered capitalizing on similar opportunities across other WMAs and whether a single permit could grant access to multiple sites in the manner of a sportsman license.
Blair Beatty (TWRA) said she did not have statewide totals on hand and offered to consult TWRA executives and report back. Members suggested the idea could be pursued legislatively in a later session or via agency rulemaking if staff and executive leadership confirm feasibility.
