AI Summary

This bill directs the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state agency that studies policy issues affecting local governments, to conduct a comprehensive study examining the impact of Tennessee's firearm laws on each county. Specifically, TACIR must analyze three key areas: firearm sales, criminal offenses related to firearms, and the use of firearms for self-defense. The study will also compare and contrast how these impacts differ across counties, providing a nuanced understanding of how firearm laws are experienced in various parts of the state. All state departments and agencies are required to assist TACIR in completing this research. By January 1, 2026, TACIR must submit its findings to every member of the Tennessee General Assembly and provide a copy of the report to the legislative librarian, with the option to deliver the report electronically. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined to be in the interest of public welfare.
