State House members have filed 15 bills so far for consideration during the special legislative session, including two from House Majority Leader William Lamberth, R-Portland. His first proposal, HB7007, would block the release of sensitive county medical examiner and autopsy reports of minor children who are victims of violent crime. WKRN reports on that bill. His second, HB7012, would require the state to provide free firearm locks and lessons on safe gun storage. In addition, Rep. Gino Bulso, R-Brentwood, has introduced HB7005 to clarify that private schools serving students in any of the grades of pre-kindergarten through 12th can permit handgun carry on their property.
