What’s in it

AI summary Local governments cannot pass laws that stop people from owning or keeping a dog based on its breed or what it looks like. This rule prevents cities and counties from targeting specific types of dogs. However, local officials can still make laws that apply to all dogs equally.1

Read the official explanation

This bill prohibits counties and cities from adopting, enforcing, or administering an ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment that restricts or hinders a person’s right to own or keep a dog based on the breed or perceived breed of the dog. The bill does not inhibit the authority of a county or city to adopt, enforce, or administer an ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment that applies to all dogs.

Changed since by amendment H-1195; see Amendments.
