MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Tennessee House Bill 2882, teaching students firearm safety, is set to become law. The Republican-sponsored bill received bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.

Tennessee House Representative Chris Todd said he’s pushing this bill to help prevent injuries from firearms.

“It is important for our young people to be aware of the proper precautions that should be taken if they encounter a firearm. This legislation will ensure students in Tennessee receive this valuable safety information during their school years as determined by leaders in education,” Todd said. “The bill also includes guidelines to make sure the curriculum remains strictly informative and not political in any nature. This is an additional way we can help prevent injuries and increase safety across Tennessee.”
