This legislation makes several changes to the Responsible Dog Ownership Law. First, it allows county commissioners to appoint more than one individual as dog control officer. Second, in addition to animal control boards or boards of health conducting hearings to determine if a dog is dangerous or vicious, these hearings may also be held before the probate court. Third, it shortens the time period that a hearing can be requested by a dog owner and reduces the amount of time that a vicious or dangerous dog must be held if no owner can be found.
