Gov. Bill Lee on Monday signed the Forever Homes Act, which calls for shorter waiting periods for foster care and adoption services as well as providing additional resources, WDEF reports. Signing the act in Chattanooga, Lee told reporters he has confidence that the upcoming special session of the state legislature will see the passage of his proposed order of protection law to keep guns from people who pose a threat to themselves or others. Lee said his proposal will “...strengthen public safety and preserve constitutional rights. There needs to be a way to separate those who are a danger to others and to themselves from access to weapons and protect the rights, in particular second amendment rights of Tennesseans.”
