House Bill 1953 and Senate Bill 2049 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning protective orders. The bill specifically targets two sections: it deletes subdivisions (f)(2) and (f)(3) from Section 39-13-113, which pertains to the definitions and procedures related to protective orders, and it also removes subdivision (a)(1)(B) from Section 39-17-1316, which addresses the unlawful possession of a firearm in relation to protective orders.
