Re: Breed-specific dog restrictions reasonable (Minnesota)

That particular bit of bill was shot down in the Feb 19th hearing of the Public Safety and Civil Justice Committee Hearing.

What passed through the committee was: madatory obediance training for dogs declared dangerous and an increase in required liability insurance from $50k to $200k.

The two admendments to the bill that were shot down was the one to repeal MN 347.51 sub 8 that makes it against state law to ban dogs according to breed.

and the other shot down was that the 5 breeds of dogs (rottie, pit, chow, akita, and wolf hybrid) would automatically be considered dangerous by birthright.

That was Paymar's bill. Ozments bill was sent to the same commitee who refused to hear it because it had already been decided in Paymar's bill.

of course there is still the senate to pass through, but those of use that are fighting this don't see it happening in the Senate, but we are keeping close tabs on it.
