Leash LawsOn Wednesday, January 25, the Senate Committee on Government Reform took testimony on SB 1065 (leash law exemption; liability insurance). As introduced, the bill provides that municipal and county ordinances and homeowners' association policies regulating or prohibiting a dog from running at large do not apply if the dog's owner provides proof of canine liability insurance of at least $100,000 for injury to any person or damage to any property caused by the dog.The sponsor of the bill, Senator Lori Klein, introduced a "striker" amendment in committee that: 1) eliminated the bill's application to cities and towns, and 2) reduced the insurance threshold to $50,000. Following a vigorous discussion among committee members, the bill was held. |
