House Bill 7110 aims to enhance public awareness regarding mental health and gun storage in Tennessee. It mandates the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, in collaboration with the Department of Health and the Department of Safety, to create and implement a public awareness campaign. This campaign will focus on educating residents about mental health conditions, treatment options, and the importance of safe gun storage. The department is required to develop and publish campaign materials, which must be made available for free on its website starting January 1, 2024, and continuing through December 31, 2025, with periodic updates to the materials.

Additionally, the bill allows county health departments to initiate their own public awareness campaigns on mental health and gun storage, utilizing the materials developed by the state department or creating their own as deemed appropriate. This local initiative aims to further promote awareness and resources related to mental health within individual counties. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in addressing these critical issues.
