SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Control of dangerous and vicious dogs; penalties. Authorizes an animal control officer or law-enforcement officer to apply to a magistrate for a summons where the officer believes that the owner of a vicious dog has willfully failed to comply with the law. When the owner of a dangerous dog has willfully failed to comply with the law, the bill authorizes an officer to confine the dog. The bill also clarifies the distinctions between dangerous dogs and vicious dogs, requires the owner of either type of dog to provide basic care while confining the animal, and authorizes a court to order the owner to pay for the care of a dangerous or vicious dog while it is in state custody. This bill is identical to HB 1562.
