Bill
LC 2515
Proposes revising laws on domestic raccoon ownership, including permits, welfare standards, and health controls; status: died in process.
LC 2515 is a proposed bill described by its title as aiming to revise laws governing the domestication or domestic use of raccoons. The available metadata does not include the bill’s full text, so the specific objectives, definitions, and mechanisms are not disclosed here. The proposal would sit at the intersection of wildlife management and public health/legal care standards, as indicated by its subjects.
The exact provisions are not provided in the summary. If enacted, such a bill typically would cover topics like:
- Ownership and permit/licensing requirements for keeping raccoons as pets
- Standards for care, housing, handling, and welfare
- Import, export, sale, or transfer restrictions
- Quarantine, health testing, vaccination, or disease control
- Enforcement, penalties, and positions of relevant agencies
- Interaction with wildlife protection laws and public health regulations
These areas are common in legislation touching domestic use of wildlife, but the precise scope of LC 2515 cannot be determined without the bill text.
As of the latest update, LC 2515 has died in process and is not moving toward passage in its current form. If stakeholders are interested in this policy area, they could monitor for new or revised proposals on domestic raccoon ownership or request meetings with the drafting office for more information. The issue may reemerge in a future session with revised text and scope.
If you’d like, I can structure a side-by-side comparison once the full bill text becomes available, or assemble a list of related current laws on domestic wildlife ownership for context.
