Bill Summary

For legislation relative to dog pens and kennels. Municipalities and Regional Government.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 174E of Chapter 140, which likely pertains to regulations for dog kennels and pens. Specifically, it removes the requirement that dog pens must have a minimum dimension of 100 square feet and replaces it with a provision that the size of the pen should be determined based on "the size of the dog." This change suggests a shift towards a more flexible approach to kennel size regulations, allowing for accommodations tailored to individual dog breeds or sizes rather than a one-size-fits-all minimum.
