Senate Bill 633 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 39-17-1316(c), to introduce a new requirement for firearm transactions involving purchasers aged between eighteen and twenty years. The bill mandates that gun dealers must ensure that a minimum of fourteen days has elapsed since the initiation of the transaction before transferring the firearm to the purchaser. This provision aims to impose a waiting period for younger buyers, potentially enhancing safety measures in firearm sales.
The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to all transactions conducted on or after that date. This legislative change reflects an effort to regulate firearm access among younger individuals, aligning with broader public welfare considerations.
