The Tennessee General Assembly wrapped up business for the session around 7:30 p.m. CDT on Friday. Shortly after the legislature adjourned, Gov. Bill Lee said he would call a special session to consider gun reform. Lee repeated his call for legislative action on a new “Order of Protection” law saying, "there is broad agreement that dangerous, unstable individuals who intend to harm themselves or others should not have access to weapons." Additional details about the session will be announced in the coming days, according to a release from the governor’s office.
