Bill > HB1821

This bill, by amending Tennessee Code Annotated Title 39, declares that any person in Tennessee who is legally allowed to own or possess a firearm and has not been convicted of a violent felony crime is automatically considered to be individually licensed and verified by the state. This designation is intended to satisfy the requirements for individual licensure and verification under the federal Gun-Free School Zones Act, which generally prohibits firearms in areas around schools unless specific exceptions apply, thereby clarifying the status of such individuals within these federal regulations.
