Amends TCA Title 36; Title 39 and Title 40.
Tennessee HB0948 mandates that individuals subject to a protective order must surrender their firearms to a designated law enforcement agency within 48 hours of the order's issuance, replacing the current law that allows for dispossession by any lawful means. This bill affects respondents of protective orders and individuals pleading guilty to domestic assault, as it requires them to provide a receipt of firearm surrender to the court. Additionally, it eliminates the provision allowing respondents to regain possession of their firearms once the protective order expires.
