Firearms and Ammunition - As introduced, changes from February 1 to February 15, the date by which the Tennessee bureau of investigation must report to the judiciary committee of the senate and the criminal justice committee of the house of representatives the amount of any background check fees charged to gun dealers that exceeds the costs associated with conducting background checks. - Amends TCA Title 16; Title 33; Title 36; Title 37; Title 38; Title 39; Title 40; Title 49 and Title 65.
SB 2422 changes a reporting deadline related to gun background check fees in Tennessee. It shifts the date by which the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation must report to legislative committees from February 1 to February 15 each year. This affects gun dealers (who pay background check fees) and the committees receiving the report, as the change delays the annual review of fees exceeding background check costs. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-17-1316, with an effective date of July 1, 2026.
