Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced on Monday a date for convening a special session of the Legislature, which is currently adjourned, in order to discuss possible gun legislation and public safety, will begin Aug. 21.

The Republican leader has decided to call in all lawmakers for the special session, even after his proposal for an extreme risk protection order (ERPO) law failed to gain enough support to be debated before the General Assembly adjourned in late April.
