The bill would create a licensing system for owners of dogs that are currently restricted under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, specifically dogs bred for fighting and other specially dangerous dogs. If a licensed owner complies with the rules, their dog would be exempt from those restrictions. The bill also sets out how licences would work and the related requirements and penalties.
