Bill > HB1576

This bill amends Tennessee law to require, with certain exemptions, that the sale or transfer of a firearm be conducted through a federally licensed gun dealer. It creates a Class B misdemeanor offense for sales or transfers that are not made through a licensed dealer, with a fine of $500 to $10,000 and a possible jail sentence of up to 9 months. The bill also prohibits those convicted under this law from possessing a firearm for 2 years. The bill provides exemptions for transfers between family members, temporary transfers, and certain types of firearms like antiques.
