AI Summary
This bill makes several technical amendments to Tennessee's firearm and criminal law statutes, primarily focusing on refining definitions, probation eligibility, and sentencing provisions. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of a "machine gun" to clarify that it includes firearms capable of shooting more than two shots automatically with a single trigger pull, and adjusts various cross-references in criminal code sections related to firearms offenses. The bill introduces a significant new provision regarding aggravated assault involving a firearm from within a motor vehicle, mandating that individuals convicted of this specific offense after July 1, 2025, must serve 100% of their imposed sentence without sentence reduction credits, though they may still earn credits for other purposes like privileges or security classification. The bill also updates probation eligibility rules by listing specific offenses for which defendants are ineligible, including various violent and firearm-related crimes. These changes aim to provide more precise legal definitions and potentially strengthen penalties for certain firearms-related offenses. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
