""CB-097 strengthens leash laws, increases accountability for dangerous dogs, updates outdated definitions, improves public safety, and launches a pilot foster/adoption program for the dogs who were once banned," the organization wrote."
""It is a modern, compassionate, community-centered path forward.""
""Now animal control can get involved in that situation instead of you having to complain constantly and go through a commission and have some hearings and have this be a month-long process," Conroy said."
Prince George's County council approved CB-097, the Animal Control Modernization Act, ending the county's long-standing ban on pit bulls while retaining new regulations. The law requires dogs to be microchipped and sets a 10-foot leash limit. The measure strengthens leash laws, increases accountability for dangerous dogs, updates outdated definitions, and launches a pilot foster/adoption program for previously banned dogs. Enforcement will focus on irresponsible owners to enable faster animal control intervention rather than lengthy complaint and commission processes. Approximately half of shelter dogs in the county are pit bulls, and the change may boost adoption opportunities.
