This is a Constitutional Amendment resolution which will require passage in two successive years of the General Assembly to be put on the ballot in 2026.  It will be amended from its current language to read "The Citizens of this state have the right to keep, bear and wear arms."

This verbiage is necessary to defeat challenges to the change as there are over 200 years of court cases that could be brought against the issue, however Supreme Court rulings uphold and justify this specific language and its intent.  It comports with our original analog of the 2nd Amendment without the racial "overtones", and as such needs all the support we can muster.

Passed Civil Justice Sub, will be up in Civil Justice Full next week.

 

I see no reason this does not make it out of the House this year.

 

This will make the landscape of laws dealing with the 2nd Amendment far easier in Tennessee after passage on the ballot in 2026.

Has passed full Civil Justice and will be on the floor Tuesday night.

It has to be read twice in floor sessions by the clerk, then Jay can describe it the third time and there will be a vote.  

If it passes full house it will be taken up by the Senate next year and passage by both houses for two years running, it will go on the ballot in 2026.
