Animal Control - As introduced, requires the owner of a dangerous dog to register the dangerous dog with the animal control authority for the area in which the dog is kept for a period of three years, restrain the dangerous dog at all times on a leash or in a secure enclosure, and obtain liability insurance coverage; establishes a public dangerous dog registry. - Amends TCA Title 39 and Title 44.

SB 1794 requires owners of dogs classified as "dangerous" (due to unprovoked attacks causing injury or threatening behavior) to register the dog with local animal control within 30 days, keep the dog restrained on a leash or in a secure enclosure at all times, and obtain $100,000 in liability insurance. This applies directly to dog owners in Tennessee whose pets meet the legal definition of "dangerous." The bill creates a public registry of dangerous dogs and allows animal control to seize unregistered or non-compliant dogs, with owners facing fines or court-ordered destruction if they fail to comply. Owners can appeal classification decisions through the court system but must meet all requirements within the specified deadlines.
