Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill removes an outdated requirement for the Tennessee Commissioner of Insurance to study and report on any barriers that might prevent insurance companies from offering policies to individuals who have used justified force, including deadly force, to protect themselves or their property. The original law, which this bill seeks to amend, mandated this study and a report to the state legislature by March 1, 2012, but this deadline has long passed, making the provision obsolete. The bill specifically targets Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA) Section 56-1-108, which contains this obsolete study requirement, and simply deletes it from the law.
