Bill overview
This bill amends Tennessee state law to specifically address threats of mass violence as a factor in criminal charges. It modifies existing sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated (Titles 37 and 39) to include ‘threat of mass violence’ as a defined element within several criminal offenses, particularly related to firearms and juvenile delinquency. The changes clarify how these threats will be considered in determining guilt and potential penalties. The bill also includes a delayed effective date of July 1, 2026.
