BILL SUMMARY
· Modifies the definitions of "dangerous dog" and "vicious dog,"
including the elimination of pit bull dogs from the definition of "vicious dog."
· Establishes procedures governing a dog warden's determination that a
dog is dangerous or vicious that include the opportunity for a hearing and an
appeal concerning the determination.
· Requires a board of county commissioners either to appoint at least
one hearing officer to conduct hearings concerning the designation of a dog as
a dangerous or vicious dog or to choose not to make any such appointments, in
which case the appropriate municipal court or county court is required to
conduct the hearings.
· Specifies that during the pendency of such a hearing or of an appeal,
a hearing officer or court, as applicable, may order upon request that the dog
designated as dangerous or vicious be held in the possession of its owner,
keeper, or harborer and be confined in accordance with certain requirements.
· Revises confinement and restraint requirements that apply to dogs,
including such requirements that apply to dangerous or vicious dogs.
· Modifies language establishing the penalties for violating
requirements governing the confinement and restraint of vicious dogs, and adds
that the penalties may include the court-ordered spaying or neutering of the
dog.
· Prohibits any person from having more than one vicious dog or allowing
the presence of more than one vicious dog on the premises where the person
resides, and establishes a penalty for violating the prohibition.
· Prohibits any person who has been convicted of a felony violation of
the law governing dogs, offenses relating to domestic animals, or drug offenses
from having a vicious dog or residing on premises where a vicious dog is owned,
kept, or harbored, and establishes a penalty for violating the prohibition.
· Specifies that failure to provide proof, upon request of a person
authorized to enforce the Dogs Law, of liability insurance that is required
under current law for vicious dogs is prima-facie evidence of the lack of such
insurance.
· In the case of a dog that is seized by a person authorized to enforce
the Dogs Law in response to an alleged violation of that Law, allows the person
to require the dog to be registered and vaccinated at the expense of the dog's
owner, keeper, or harborer and, if the dog is a vicious dog, to require proof
of the required liability insurance before releasing the dog.
· Increases the penalty for obstructing or interfering with anyone
lawfully engaged in capturing an unregistered dog or making an examination of a
dog wearing a tag from a minor misdemeanor to a misdemeanor of the fourth
degree.
· Increases the fee that must be paid for the recording of a transfer of
ownership certificate concerning a dog from 25¢ to $1.
