Firearms and Ammunition - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee Voluntary Do Not Sell Firearms Act," which permits a person to voluntarily waive their firearm rights through filing a waiver with the clerk of the circuit court in the county of the person's residence; specifies procedures the clerk, TBI, and department of safety must follow upon receipt of a waiver. - Amends TCA Title 4, Chapter 3; Section 10-7-504 and Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.

HB 596 creates the "Tennessee Voluntary Do Not Sell Firearms Act," allowing any Tennessee resident to temporarily prohibit their own firearm purchases by filing a waiver with their county circuit court clerk. The waiver requires government-issued ID verification, triggers a 24-hour background check entry by the TBI, and automatically suspends existing handgun carry permits. Residents can revoke the waiver after 7 days, with full reinstatement (including permit restoration) occurring 21 days after TBI processing. The law applies only to the filer’s own firearm access, does not affect other legal rights, and requires strict confidentiality for all records.
