AI Summary

This bill extends the time period for individuals with suspended or revoked handgun carry permits to petition the chancery court for judicial review from 30 days to 45 days. Specifically, the legislation amends Section 39-17-1354(a) of the Tennessee Code Annotated by replacing the existing 30-day window with a 45-day window. A handgun carry permit is an official document that allows an individual to legally carry a concealed firearm in the state of Tennessee. The chancery court is a type of specialized court that handles civil matters such as permit disputes. By increasing the timeframe, the bill provides permit holders with additional time to challenge the Department of Safety's decision to suspend or revoke their handgun carry permit. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, giving ample notice to affected parties and state agencies about the change in legal procedure.
