Criminal Offenses - As introduced, creates a Class A misdemeanor for recklessly storing a firearm in a manner that a person knows or reasonably should know will allow a child younger than 18 years of age to access the firearm and the child brings the firearm to a school. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.

SB 250 creates a Class A misdemeanor for adults who recklessly store firearms in a way that allows a child under 18 to access them, and the child later brings the firearm to a school. It directly affects firearm owners - such as parents or guardians - who fail to secure guns safely, knowing or reasonably should know a child could reach them. The law defines "school" broadly to include buildings, buses, campuses, athletic fields, and other school-owned properties. Violating this law carries penalties for the person who stored the firearm recklessly, not the child. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
