Firearms and Ammunition - As introduced, expands the circumstances under which a law enforcement agency may petition a court for permission to destroy a firearm that has been confiscated by a law enforcement officer and declared to be contraband by a court, to any firearm, rather than only a firearm that is inoperable or unsafe. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.

SB 1105 amends Tennessee law to allow law enforcement agencies to petition a court to destroy *any* confiscated firearm deemed illegal (contraband), rather than only inoperable or unsafe firearms. This change directly affects law enforcement agencies handling seized weapons and the legal process for disposing of confiscated firearms. The key provision removes the previous requirement that firearms must be inoperable or unsafe before destruction can be authorized. The bill also specifies that confiscated weapons must be preserved as evidence for 60-180 days before destruction, sale, or recycling. This is a procedural policy change focused on expanding disposal options for law enforcement.
