SB 16 makes it a misdemeanor to remove an electronic or radio transmitting collar from a dog, without the permission from the dog’s owner, with the intention of preventing or hindering the owner from locating the dog. If the dog is lost or killed as a result of the violator’s removal of the collar, the violator shall be required to pay the dog’s owner restitution in the amount of the actual value of the dog and any associated veterinary expenses.
