A Tennessee bill that would prohibit untrained service animals from being inside restaurants is moving forward.
The Senate passed SB1595 this week. The legislation would keep live animals out of food service establishments and would give restaurants power to turn away patrons with pets.
Some lawmakers say too many pet owners are calling their dogs “service animals” or “emotional support animals.” State leaders, like Rep. Kirk Haston (R-Lobelville), believe dogs with certifications should be kept out of restaurants.
