Includes a town, through its dog control officers acting at the behest of a police officer, as an impounding organization

Summary

The bill amends the Agriculture and Markets Law so that a town, through its dog control officers acting at a police officer’s request, is treated as an "impounding organization." That organization can ask a court to require the animal’s owner to post a security deposit to cover care costs while criminal charges are pending.
