The Tennessee House Finance, Ways & Means Subcommittee has passed HB1883 on a voice vote. HB1883 now moves to the full House Finance, Ways & Means Committee. We need you to EMAIL or CALL the committee members TODAY! HB1883 is the companion bill to SB1771 and would repeal the antiquated ban on switchblade (automatic) knives and possession of knives over four inches in length "with intent to go armed," a vague law subject to abuse.
