Tennessee Senate Passes Bill to Allow Raccoon Ownership Without Permit Fees

Tennessees Senate has passed a bill, SB twenty-three fifty-four, to let residents own raccoons as pets without any permit fees. The measure, sponsored by Senator Joe Hensley and Representative Kip Capley, updates state wildlife laws and simplifies the process for legal raccoon ownership. The bill keeps existing rules, such as proving the animal came from an approved source and was vaccinated, but removes the thirty-one dollar permit fee. If the House approves, owning a domesticated raccoon could soon be fee-free and straightforward for qualified buyers across the state.
