Remedies and Special Proceedings - As introduced, creates a civil action against any person or government entity that infringes upon a person's right to bear arms under the Tennessee or United States Constitutions; requires the person or entity to be liable for actual or statutory damages, punitive damages, attorney's fees, and court costs. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 54.

HB 554 creates a civil lawsuit for individuals whose right to bear arms under the Tennessee or U.S. Constitution is restricted by government entities (like police departments or local officials). It allows people to sue for actual damages or $250 per day of the violation, plus attorney fees and court costs. The bill specifically applies when government action infringes on gun rights without being based on a valid, unchallenged law. It does not apply to lawful enforcement of existing regulations or replace other legal remedies. The bill passed a committee but failed in the Civil Justice Subcommittee on April 2, 2025.
