Bill Summary
As introduced, requires a gun dealer to ensure that three days have passed since the transaction was initiated by the purchaser before transferring a firearm to a purchaser if the purchaser is older than 17 but younger than 21. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's firearm transaction laws by introducing a new requirement for gun dealers when selling firearms to young adults aged 18-20. Specifically, the bill mandates that for purchasers between 17 and 21 years old, gun dealers must wait three full days after the transaction is initially initiated before transferring the firearm to the buyer. This waiting period is designed to provide additional time for potential background checks or cooling-off considerations for younger firearm purchasers. The legislation will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all firearm transactions on or after that date. The bill modifies the existing Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13, which governs firearm transactions in the state, by adding this new waiting period requirement specifically for the 18-20 age group.
