Tennessee lawmakers will consider a bill prohibiting emotional support animals (ESAs) from indoor restaurants and other food service establishments.

The bill was filed Wednesday by State Representative Kirk Haston (Republican-Lobelville) and Senator Page Walley (Republican-Savannah).

It would prohibit “emotional support animals that are not trained or in training to perform tasks or work for a person with a disability from indoor areas of food service establishments.”

Lawmakers will consider the new bill in this year’s General Assembly.
