Summary

The law raises the cost of annual dog licenses and creates a small companion‑animal population‑control fee that goes to a state neutering fund. Owners of dogs 7 months or older pay higher rates unless the animal is spayed or neutered, while seniors 65 and older pay a reduced $2 fee and are exempt from the extra surcharge for one dog. The changes are intended to generate additional money for controlling the dog population.
