Tennessee removes two raccoon laws
Beginning July 1, 2026, the law removes Tennessee Code sections 70-4-112 and 70-4-122, both related to raccoons. It adds no replacement rules, programs, or funding. The available text does not explain the removed rules, so specific effects on residents remain unclear.
