What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the requirement that a person hunting bear or wolf with a

dog carry certain tags for the dog.

Under current law, the owner of a dog is required to have the dog vaccinated

against rabies. The owner is required to attach a rabies vaccination tag to a collar

that, subject to exceptions, must be worn by the dog at all times. One exception

provides that this requirement does not apply to a dog while hunting.

Under current law, while a person is using a dog to hunt bear or wolf, the person

is required to keep on his or her person tags indicating that the person has been

issued a license for the dog and the dog has been vaccinated against rabies. This bill

eliminates these requirements.
