NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A bill that requires schools across the state to teach students about how to safely store guns, avoid injuries if they find a gun and other lessons about gun safety passed the Tennessee House of Representatives on Thursday.
HB 2882 was introduced by Rep. Chris Todd (R - Madison County). As introduced, the bill would require the state Department of Education and Safety to work with the Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission to decide the earliest grade when students could start learning about gun safety. The bill required leaders to consider data about the earliest ages when children are injured by guns.
After that decision is made, the bill requires public schools and public charter schools to start teaching kids about gun safety in the 2025-2026 school year. The departments and commission would also need develop or approve a curriculum about firearm safety. No materials or programs could be approved if they "bear a brand or organizational affiliation."
Lessons can be in a classroom by watching a video, or students can review online materials. Materials would also need to be "viewpoint neutral" on topics like gun rights and gun violence. It also bars lessons from including live ammunition or live guns, but does not specifically exclude non-functional ammunition or non-functional guns.
"The instruction must begin with the earliest appropriate grade, as determined by the departments under subsection (a), and must continue in each subsequent grade through grade twelve," the bill said.
It also lists required lessons students need to learn. ThoseTN House passes bill requiring lessons on gun safety in schools, amendments allowing parents to opt out fails
