It appears (by my understanding) that HB 189 has been replaced by HB 533
which is greatly watered down and even though removes pit bull dogs as prima
fascia evidence of a vicious dog it specifically allows local communities to
make "more restrictive legislation". This goes to Committee on March 22,
2006 and the bill as an end result does NOTHING for the responsible dog
owner. It simply puts the responsibility of enforcement on the local
jurisdictions.
  Sec. 955.221.  (A) For the purposes of this section, ordinances or
resolutions to control dogs include, but are not limited to, ordinances or
resolutions concerned with the ownership, keeping, or harboring of dogs, the
restraint of dogs, dogs as public nuisances, and dogs as a threat to public
health, safety, and welfare, except that such ordinances or resolutions as
permitted in division (B) of this section shall not prohibit the use of any
dog which that is lawfully engaged in hunting or training for the purpose of
hunting while accompanied by a licensed hunter. However, such dogs at all
other times and in all other respects shall be subject to the ordinance or
resolution permitted by this section, unless actually in the field and
engaged in hunting or in legitimate training for such that purpose.
Ordinances or resolutions to control dogs that are adopted pursuant to this
section may define "dangerous dog" or "vicious dog" more broadly than those
terms are defined in section 955.11 of the Revised Code, and such expanded
definitions shall not be considered to be in conflict with the Revised Code.
See the underlined. This was taken from HB533 but was not in HB189. This
would seem to me that they are striking it from ORC but then allowing it
under local ordinances which makes it a totally worthless law!
