Tennessee Special Session Ends After Republicans Block ‘Red Flag’ Law

The special session of the Tennessee General Assembly ended Tuesday afternoon, as lawmakers in the House and Senate voted to adjourn.
Despite calls from Gov. Bill Lee (R) for lawmakers to bring him a red flag law bill, no such bill was passed.
The major accomplishment of the special session was the passage of an anti-human trafficking bill by both chambers with overwhelming bipartisan support.
House Republicans held firm in their promise not to impose red flag laws.
“Any red flag law is a non-starter for House Republicans,” the House majority party said in April.
