Description
Dangerous and vicious dogs. Expands the definition of a dangerous dog to include a dog that has, without provocation, chased, confronted, or approached a person in a threatening or aggressive manner such that a reasonable person would be fearful of an attack. Requires any ordinance adopted pursuant to this section to provide that an animal control officer may determine, after investigation, whether a dog is a dangerous dog. Currently that authority is given at the discretion of the locality. This bill has been incorporated into HB 340. Read the Bill »
