SB 2382 amends Tennessee law to extend the deadline by which the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) must report excess funds collected from gun dealer background check fees. Specifically, it changes the reporting date from February 1 to February 15 each year. The bill affects the TBI’s administrative process for handling fees collected from gun dealers, with no changes to the underlying fee structure or gun regulations. This is a procedural adjustment to the reporting timeline, not a substantive policy change.
