AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law by extending the timeframe for sheriffs to provide information to the Department of Safety regarding an applicant's truthfulness on an enhanced handgun carry permit application from 30 days to 45 days. Specifically, the bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-17-1351(g)(2), replacing the existing 30-day requirement with a 45-day period. This change gives sheriffs additional time to investigate and report any discrepancies or concerns about an applicant's honesty when applying for an enhanced handgun carry permit. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the justification that it serves the public welfare by potentially improving the thoroughness of background checks for handgun carry permits.
