An Act to increase kennel safety, aka Ollie’s Law

Ollie’s Law amends Massachusetts state regulations to improve safety standards for private dog kennels. The bill raises the maximum number of dogs allowed in a single-person private kennel from four to five, provided the dogs are six months of age or older. Additionally, it updates the legal classification code for these facilities from 174F to 174G. These changes directly affect individuals who operate small, private dog kennels on their property.
