Senate Bill 1747 amends Tennessee law regarding the reckless discharge of firearms. The bill establishes that a person commits an offense if they recklessly discharge a firearm into the air, ground, a body of water, or an object in proximity to themselves at a public gathering or event with at least twenty-five attendees. Such a violation is classified as a Class A misdemeanor.

However, the bill outlines several exceptions where the discharge of a firearm would not be considered an offense. These exceptions include discharges by law enforcement officers in the course of their duties, military personnel acting under orders, and authorized wildlife control officers. Additionally, it allows for discharges on shooting ranges, during lawful wildlife hunting, and in defense against animal attacks. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
