Ohio legislative newsThe kennel licensing bills we opposed in the 2007-08 legislative session were defeated by a coalition that included dog wardens and dog fanciers, farmers, hunters, and others who raise dogs for sale and hunting, but they are back this year as HB 124 and SB 95. CCKC will participate in committee hearings with spoken testimony and will submit letters in opposition to the bills. Past CCKC testimony is here. For more information, see Ohio Valley Dog Owners Inc. Ohio lawmakers are also considering three other bills that affect dog owners.HB 55 raises the penalty for animal cruelty, allows inclusion of family pets in domestic violence protection orders, and requires counseling for minors convicted of animal cruelty. OVDO submitted interested party testimony on the bill via letter to the criminal justice committee. HB70 raises the penalty for neglect of a companion animal to a felony, a higher penalty than that for intentional cruelty. HB 79 would remove breed specific language from Ohio law. HB 175 increases accountability for humane agent training by requiring that agents submit proof of training to the county recorder in the county where they work. |
