AI Summary

This bill directs the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR), a state research agency, to conduct a comprehensive study examining the impact of Tennessee's firearm laws across all counties. The study must analyze three specific areas: firearm sales, criminal offenses involving firearms, and the use of firearms for self-defense. TACIR is required to identify and compare how these impacts differ between counties, with all state departments and agencies mandated to provide assistance in conducting the research. The bill stipulates that by January 1, 2026, TACIR must submit its findings to every member of the general assembly and provide a copy of the report to the legislative librarian, which can be delivered electronically. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by generating detailed, county-level insights into the effects of Tennessee's firearm regulations.
