AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law by creating a new section in the state's administrative code that defines "gun violence" as including homicide, violent crime, and domestic violence, and authorizes the Department of Finance and Administration's Office of Criminal Justice Programs to proactively seek funding and resources from federal and state sources to design and implement grants aimed at reducing gun violence in Tennessee.
