Senate Bill 441 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 39-17-1359(c), by adding a new provision that clarifies the circumstances under which a person may possess or carry a firearm in areas where firearms are typically prohibited. The new language states that the restrictions do not apply if the individual, upon request from someone authorized to control access to the property, promptly leaves the premises or stores the firearm in a personal vehicle in compliance with existing regulations.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation. This amendment aims to provide clarity and flexibility for firearm owners regarding access to restricted areas while ensuring compliance with property control measures.
