Senate Bill 379 mandates the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) to conduct a comprehensive study on the impact of the state's firearm laws across various counties. The study will focus on three key areas: firearm sales, criminal offenses, and the use of firearms for self-defense. TACIR is required to identify any similarities or differences in the impacts of these laws and will receive assistance from relevant state departments and agencies throughout the process.

The findings from this study must be reported to each member of the General Assembly and provided to the legislative librarian by January 1, 2026. The report can be submitted electronically. This act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of understanding the implications of firearm legislation on public welfare.
