HB 852 extends the timeframe for handgun permit holders to challenge a suspension or revocation from 30 to 60 days. It directly affects individuals whose Tennessee handgun carry permits have been suspended or revoked by the Department of Safety, allowing them more time to petition a state court for review. The bill amends Tennessee Code Section 39-17-1354 to change the deadline for filing such petitions. This is a procedural adjustment with no new requirements or restrictions on permits. The change takes effect July 1, 2025.
