Bill Summary
As introduced, requires, if the respondent on an order of protection dispossesses firearms by transferring possession to a third party who is not prohibited from possessing firearms, the respondent to specify the third party and the physical address where all firearms are located on the affidavit of firearms dispossession form; requires the third party to sign the affidavit of firearms dispossession form to acknowledge receipt of the firearms. - Amends TCA Title 36, Chapter 3, Part 6.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's domestic violence protection order laws to add new requirements for firearm dispossession when a person under a protection order transfers their firearms to a third party. Specifically, if a respondent (the person against whom a protection order is issued) chooses to transfer their firearms to another person who is legally allowed to possess them, they must now provide additional documentation. The respondent must specify the name of the third-party firearm holder and the exact physical address where the firearms are being stored on the official affidavit of firearms dispossession form. Furthermore, the third party must now personally sign the dispossession form to formally acknowledge that they have received the firearms. This new provision aims to create more transparency and accountability in the process of transferring firearms when someone is subject to a domestic violence protection order, helping to ensure that the firearms are truly removed from the respondent's immediate control.
