Title 70 - Wildlife Resources
Chapter 9 - Tennessee Off-Highway Vehicle Act
§ 70-9-106. Use of funds received by the agency.
(a) The funds received by the Tennessee wildlife resources agency under this chapter shall be used exclusively for the purpose of funding the operation and management of the off-highway motor vehicle program authorized under this chapter. The director may use funds collected under this chapter to acquire by purchase, gift, grant, bequest, devise, or lease, the fee or any lesser interest in land, development right, easement, covenant, or other contractual right necessary to achieve the purposes of this chapter.
(b) It is the intent of the general assembly that the off-highway vehicle program be self-funded. Use of any existing or future agency resources, revenues, or funding not derived by or through the OHV program, to administer or enforce this program shall constitute a diversion of funds under § 70-1-401. Any future federal funds received for OHV or motorized trails shall be credited to the agency for use to administer and enforce this chapter.
