Breed-specific Legislation or BSL Labels Certain Breeds Of Dogs Dangerous Only Because Of Their Breed And Not
Because The Dog Is Guilty Of Being Dangerous To the Public.
Current Ohio State Law Defines "Any Dog Commonly Known As A Pit Bull"
As A "Vicious" Dog. As Such, The Dog Owner Must Meet Strict And Costly Ownership Requirements; Otherwise,
The Dog Will Be Euthanized. This Is Very Disturbing Because It Basically
Restricts Ownership Of
Pit Bulls To Wealthy People; Discriminating Against Lower-Income Individuals And Causing The Needless
Euthanization Of Harmless Pit Bulls. Ohio Is The Only State That Has Such A Law.
In Fact, Fourteen Statess Have Laws That Prohibit BSL.
What is House Bill 14?
House Bill 14, Introduced By Ohio Representative Barbara Sears, Removes The "Vicious" Dog Label From Harmless Pit Bulls.
If This Bill Is Made Law, Ownership Of A Pit Bull Would Be Treated
The Same As The Ownership Of A German Shepherd Or Other Dog.
The Bill Was First Introduced As House Bill 79.
The House of Representatives Passed
The Law With Nearly A Unanimous Vote As An Amendment To HB 55
Which Was Called The "Animal Cruelty Bill".
Buy HB 79 Did Not Pass In The Senate.
So, Representative Sears Introduced The Proposed Law As HB 14 In The Current Legislative
Session.
