Complete·5/13/25

Amends Tennessee Code to redefine terms and limit liability for firearm and accessory manufacturers and sellers.

This bill amends Tennessee Code to redefine terms such as "firearm," "manufacturer," and "negligent entrustment" in relation to firearms and accessories. It limits liability for manufacturers and sellers of firearms and related products, ensuring they cannot be held liable for damages resulting from the criminal misuse of their products by third parties. The bill also restricts enforcement of foreign judgments against Tennessee firearm and accessory manufacturers and sellers, requiring litigants to certify that such enforcement does not violate Tennessee's public policy.
