Criminal Offenses - As introduced, makes it an offense for farmers to keep breeding pigs and veal calves in certain small enclosures, subject to certain exceptions, effective July 1, 2030. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 14; Title 40, Chapter 39; Title 43; Title 44 and Title 53.

SB 1325 sets minimum space requirements for breeding pigs and veal calves on farms in Tennessee, effective July 1, 2030. It prohibits confining breeding pigs in enclosures with less than 24 sq. ft. of usable floor space per pig or veal calves in enclosures with less than 43 sq. ft. per calf, except during medical care, exhibitions, short-term handling, or slaughter. Farm owners/operators who violate these rules face fines of $250-$1,000 per animal per violation. The bill amends Tennessee’s animal welfare laws but allows stricter local ordinances and does not override existing federal or state animal protection standards.
