Repeals section 273.100, relating to impounding of dogs

Summary

HB 2770 would eliminate the state statute that requires municipalities to seize stray dogs, keep them for a week, and then kill them unless owners pay a fee. It also removes the misdemeanor penalty for marshals who fail to carry out those impoundments. The change would affect local governments, dog owners, and animal‑control officers.
