HB 2035 Tennessee House · 113th Regular Session (2023-2024)

Firearms and Ammunition - As enacted, preempts the entire field of legislation regarding extreme risk protection orders to the exclusion of all county, city, town, municipality, or metropolitan government law, ordinances, resolutions, enactments, or regulation. - Amends TCA Title 36; Title 38 and Title 39.

This bill establishes state-level extreme risk protection orders in Tennessee, which are legal orders issued by judges to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed to pose a danger to themselves or others. The legislation explicitly prevents any local government, such as cities or counties, from creating their own versions of these orders or enforcing them against residents. It further bars the state from accepting federal or other funding used to enforce such orders and declares any existing federal orders of this type null and void within Tennessee. Additionally, the bill makes it a misdemeanor for anyone, including law enforcement officers, to attempt to enforce a federally issued extreme risk protection order against a Tennessee resident.
