HB 1861 Dangerous or vicious dogs.

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Dangerous or vicious dogs. Adds animal control officers’ previous findings of dangerous dogs to the list of factors in determining if a dog is a vicious dog. This bill removes the $50 cap on the dangerous dog registration fee and authorizes the localities to set the fee at an amount not to exceed the costs of administering the dangerous dog ordinance. The bill also increases from $50,000 to $100,000 the amount of liability insurance that a locality could require for animal bites if it has adopted the permissive insurance provision as part of its dangerous dog ordinance.
