15 States Prohibit Breed Specific Laws
The following 15 states prohibit their municipalities from passing breed-specific laws:
Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Massachusetts, Nevada and Connecticut. Since Nevada and Connecticut’s laws were just passed the code is not updated. When it is, the official code and chapter numbers will be available.
One state, California, prohibits most breed-specific laws, but allows breed-specific spay/neuter.
NOTE: If your city, county or state starts growling about creating BSL, don't wait until these unjust laws pass behind closed doors. Get active and leash your officials.
