RELATING TO DANGEROUS DOGS.

HB 634 increases criminal penalties for dog owners whose negligence leads to unprovoked bites causing bodily injury to humans. The bill specifically targets cases where owners fail to properly secure or manage dangerous dogs, resulting in preventable harm. It directly affects dog owners in situations where their lack of supervision or control causes injury to others. The bill is currently pending in the legislature, having been introduced in January 2025 and carried over to the next session.
