HB 1902 requires owners of dangerous dogs in Tennessee to register the dog with local animal control within 30 days, keep the dog restrained at all times (on a leash or in a secure enclosure), and carry at least $100,000 in liability insurance. It defines a "dangerous dog" as one that makes an unprovoked attack causing bodily injury or commits acts that cause a reasonable fear of attack. The bill establishes a public registry of dangerous dogs and outlines penalties for non-compliance, including potential seizure and destruction of the dog after a court order. This bill directly affects dog owners in Tennessee whose dogs meet the dangerous dog definition under the law.
