The proposed legislation would hold dog owners criminally responsible if their dog attacks someone due to negligence—even without prior aggression history.

Key provisions include mandatory registration of vicious dogs with county dog wardens, along with requirements for microchipping, visible warning signs, and liability insurance. The bill also empowers dog wardens to seize dogs immediately following an attack, aiming to enhance public safety and accountability.
