NEW DOG LAW PROPOSED 1-12-17

A bill filed in the Florida Senate would place restrictions on dogs riding in the backs of pickup trucks or on trailers. Senate Bill 320 would require dogs to be secured in kennel cages or other ventilated containers or tethered so they cannot fall out. However, it would not apply to a dog being transported by a farmer actively engaged in farming activities using the services of dog or for hunting or sporting dogs being  transported between hunting sites or sporting events. If approved, violation of the law would be a noncriminal traffic infraction.
