Senator Rose urges donations to new Tennessee Outdoor Stewardship Fund; bill sent to general subcommittee
Summary
Senator Rose described the Tennessee Outdoor Stewardship Fund as a vehicle for private donations to support outdoor stewardship projects and moved the bill to the general subcommittee to resolve where and how the funds will be allocated.
Senator Rose briefly described the purpose of the Tennessee Outdoor Stewardship Fund, saying the state should provide a place to accept private gifts for outdoor stewardship projects and that officials will later determine how those funds are allocated. He told listeners that after personal and family giving, "we would welcome your money to the Tennessee Outdoor Stewardship Trust Fund," and asked members and interested parties to offer input on where the money should be parked.
The senator moved the bill to the general subcommittee for additional vetting; committee members indicated they would follow up on allocation and program design as the measure progresses.
