Senate Bill 1325 aims to enhance the welfare of breeding pigs and calves raised for veal in Tennessee by establishing specific confinement standards for these animals. The bill defines key terms such as "breeding pig," "calf raised for veal," and "enclosure," and prohibits farm owners or operators from confining these animals in a manner that restricts their ability to lie down, stand up, fully extend their limbs, or turn around. Additionally, it sets minimum space requirements for enclosures, mandating at least 24 square feet of usable floor space per breeding pig and 43 square feet per calf raised for veal.

The bill outlines exceptions to these confinement rules for specific circumstances, including medical research, veterinary treatment, transportation, and temporary confinement for animal husbandry purposes. Violations of the confinement standards are classified as a Class B misdemeanor, with fines ranging from $250 to $1,000 for each offense. The legislation also clarifies that it does not override existing animal welfare laws and allows local governments to enact more stringent regulations. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2030.
