HB 2664 Ordinances regulating dangerous and vicious dogs.
Introduced by: John A. Rollison III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Ordinances regulating dangerous dogs. Allows localities that regulate dangerous dogs to provide in their ordinances that animal wardens may, after investigation, determine whether a dog is a dangerous dog. The owner of a dog that has been determined to be dangerous must confine the animal in a specified way, obtain a dangerous dog registration certificate, and comply with other requirements. Under current law, the determination as to whether a dog is dangerous is made by a general district court; under the bill, the owner can appeal an animal warden's determination to the court.
