Bartlett - Subject to local approval, repeals the animal control program. - Amends Chapter 55 of the Private Acts of 1993; as amended.

HB 1436 repeals a 2007 state law (Chapter 47 of Private Acts) that established a statewide animal control program for Bartlett, Tennessee. The bill directly affects Bartlett residents and its city government, transferring control of animal services back to local authorities. Key provisions require Bartlett's city council to approve the repeal by a two-thirds vote before it takes effect, with approval certified to the state. If approved, the city would no longer be subject to the state-mandated program. The bill has passed the Tennessee legislature and governor but remains pending local approval.
