TODAY, the Tennessee House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on House Bill 1736 and your state Representative needs to hear from you! Please contact your state Representative and politely urge them to SUPPORT HB 1736 with no "opt-out" amendments when it comes up for a vote.
House Bill 1736 and Senate Bill 2376, sponsored by state Representative Andy Holt (R-76) and state Senator Mike Bell (R-9) respectively, would permit full-time employees of state public colleges or universities to carry a handgun while on property owned, operated, or used by the employing college or university if the employee has a valid Tennessee handgun carry permit. Senate Bill 2376 was passed by the Tennessee Senate today with no "opt-out" amendments.
Again, it is more important than ever that you contact your state Representative and politely urge them to SUPPORT HB 1736 with no "opt-out" amendments when it comes up for a vote.
