Subject: TFA: Legislative Calendar and Bill status report

February 6, 2026

The Tennessee Legislature has been back at work for a few weeks and the bill cutoff date has now expired.  TFA is using a new tracking service since the one we have used for several years merged into another company.   As a result, there have been a lot of problems with the migration and a lot of features (including report formatting) that are no longer available.

However, the new service claims that it has the ability to include bill status and calendar reports directly on our website.  As of today, we have implemented that feature with two new pages on the TFA's website.  One page should generate a calendar report for the upcoming week and the other should dynamically generate a bill status report for all tracked bills.  Because these pages are pulling live data from another server, each pages takes a few seconds to load.   The direct links to these new pages are:

Bill Status Report

At this time, there are at least two bills which would address the issues in the Hughes et al v. Lee et al case in which a three-judge trial court unanimously ruled that  Tennessee's "intent to go armed" statute and its "parks" statute are unconstitutional.  The state of Tennessee, acting at the direction of Bill Lee and Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, has appealed that decision in an effort to keep these two criminal statutes alive.  The bills that would address those issues are:

SB1851/HB1737 by Sen. Hensley and Rep. Fritts.

SB2467/HB2064 by Sen. Bailey and Rep. Todd.

While each of these bills, as filed, address the some of the constitutional problems with Tennessee's "intent to go armed" and "parks" statutes, they do so in different ways.  Each of them also address other issues in Tennessee law such as the provision of SB2467/HB2064 that changes existing law in Tennessee which has for decades limited access by juveniles to handguns (with some exceptions) to banning juveniles from possessing any firearm (again with limited exceptions).  Of course, each bill is likely to be amended, potentially substantially, and neither is guaranteed a floor vote. 

Aside from these two bills, most of the bills that have been filed are replete with provisions which likely violate the 2nd Amendment as construed by the US Supreme Court.  

If you find the information in these free email updates useful, please share with others and tell them to sign up for these emails too.
