HB 2417 / SB 2414 takes the existing language from the state's veterans treatment court statute (T.C.A. § 16-6-101 — § 16-6-106) and replicates it,
replacing the word «veteran» with «first responder», defined as «paid, full - time law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency medical
services personnel who are employed by the state or a
local government in this state.»
