AN ACT relating to working livestock dogs.

Summary

The bill requires dog owners to keep their pets under control to avoid nuisance violations and limits law‑enforcement authority to seize or kill dogs that are roaming at night. Officers must first try to determine if a roaming dog is a working livestock, hound, or hunting dog, and may only destroy it if it is actively harming livestock, poultry, or people. It also allows these dogs to be unrestrained while performing lawful work or hunting on authorized land.
