SB 1459 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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

SB 1459 would repeal Bartlett’s existing animal control program, which was established under a 2007 local law (Chapter 47 of Private Acts). It requires approval by Bartlett’s city council with a two-thirds vote before taking effect, and the bill would only apply to Bartlett. This local bill does not change state law but removes the city’s current animal control framework upon local authorization.
